Description
A rich, buttery, and deeply flavorful rice casserole made with French onion soup, beef consommé, and long grain white rice. Perfect as a comforting side dish or hearty main when paired with protein or vegetables.
Ingredients
1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
1 (10.5 oz) can condensed French onion soup
1 (10.5 oz) can beef consommé
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Optional: 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a 9×9-inch baking dish, combine uncooked rice, French onion soup, beef consommé, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
- Cut the butter into small pats and distribute evenly over the rice mixture.
- Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake covered for 30 minutes.
- Remove foil and continue baking uncovered for another 30 minutes, or until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired.
Notes
Use long grain white rice for best texture—short grain or instant rice may become mushy.
Add sliced mushrooms for an earthy variation.
Mix in shredded cheese during the last 10 minutes for a cheesy twist.
Turn into a main dish by adding cooked chicken or ground beef.
Use brown rice for a nuttier flavor—adjust liquid and baking time.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat with a splash of broth or water.
