Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cup Long Grain Rice, uncooked: The base of the dish, long-grain rice, is ideal for absorbing the flavors of the beef broth and French onion soup.
- 14.5 oz can of Beef Broth: Adds a deep, savory flavor to the rice, infusing it with richness and umami.
- 10.5 oz can of French Onion Soup: This is the star ingredient, providing the signature taste of caramelized onions and a hint of sweetness.
- 1 stick of Butter, cold: The butter adds richness and a creamy texture to the rice, making it incredibly satisfying.
- Fresh parsley for garnish: Adds a touch of freshness and color to the dish, balancing out the rich flavors.
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure the butter is cold, as this will help it incorporate into the rice evenly as it melts.
2. Combine the Ingredients:
- In a large saucepan, combine the uncooked long-grain rice, beef broth, and French onion soup.
- Stir the mixture to ensure the rice is evenly distributed in the liquid.
3. Add the Butter:
- Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the saucepan.
- Stir the butter into the rice mixture, making sure it’s evenly distributed throughout.
4. Cook the Rice:
- Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes.
- During this time, the rice will absorb the liquid, becoming tender and flavorful.
