Rice Mixture
- 1 cup long grain rice (not Instant)
- 10 oz Campbell’s French Onion Soup
- 10 oz beef broth
Butter Topping
- Combine the ingredients: In an 8×8 inch baking dish, mix together the long grain rice, Campbell’s French Onion Soup, and beef broth until evenly combined.
- Add butter slices: Evenly place the sliced butter pieces on top of the rice and soup mixture to ensure a rich buttery flavor as it bakes.
- Cover and bake initially: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap steam and moisture. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 25 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake further: Carefully remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been fully absorbed, forming a creamy texture.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let it rest slightly before serving. Enjoy the comforting, savory French Onion Soup Rice warm.
Notes
- Use long grain rice, not instant, for best texture and absorption.
- Make sure to slice the butter to allow even melting throughout the rice.
- Ensure the baking dish is well covered during the first baking phase to avoid drying out the rice.
- You can garnish with chopped fresh parsley or grated cheese for extra flavor if desired.
- This dish pairs well with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables.
