Equipment Used
Baking dish – You will need an 8×8 baking dish to bake the rice.
Aluminum foil – This is needed to cover the dish before baking the rice.
Wooden Spoon – Use this or a fork to stir the ingredients together until well combined.
Main Ingredients
Rice – Use uncooked white rice for this recipe. You can use any brand of your choice.
Butter – I cut an unsalted stick butter into cubes and add it to the rice before baking.
Beef Broth – I used 1 1/4 cup (10 ounces)of this broth to cook the rice.
Substitute For French Onion Soup
If you run out of this ingredient, you can substitute it for a can of golden mushroom soup and a small can of onions. It will change the dish’s flavor, but it will have a similar taste to the original recipe.
All Ingredients
• Rice – Combined with the other ingredients.
• French Onion Soup – Adds a unique flavor to the dish.
• Beef broth – Used in the recipe to enhance flavor.
• Butter – Adds moisture and flavor to the rice.
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Add the rice, butter cubes, beef broth, and soup to an 8×8 baking dish and stir well.
3. Cover the dish with tin foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover the baking dish and bake for another half an hour.
4. Serve warm and enjoy.
Cover The Dish Before Baking
I did this to keep the dish from drying out and keep the top from getting too crispy before wholly cooked. Hence the reason it is baked for covered 30 minutes and uncovered for another 30 minutes.
Alternative Baking Pan
In this recipe, we used an 8×8 baking dish to bake the rice. However, if you do not have one, you can always use a 9 inch round pan. You will not have to adjust the time or worry about the result of your yummy stick of butter rice. How fortunate!
Storage Method
Seal the leftovers in an airtight container once cooled and store them in the refrigerator for about a week. You can also freeze the leftover rice in a sealed container for up to 3 months.
