Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1 (10.5 oz) can French onion soup
- 1 (10.5 oz) can beef consommé
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large oven-safe dish, combine the long-grain white rice, French onion soup, beef consommé, melted butter, and garlic powder (if using). Stir well to ensure the rice is evenly coated.
- Cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the dish sit for about 5 minutes to allow the rice to absorb any remaining liquid.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot.
Notes
- Add Cheese: For a cheesy twist, top the rice with shredded cheese like Gruyère or mozzarella, and bake for an additional 5 minutes until melted and bubbly.
- Add Herbs: Fresh thyme or parsley can be sprinkled on top after baking for a burst of fresh flavor.
- Meat Add-ins: Add cooked ground beef or sautéed mushrooms for extra richness and texture.
