Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup long grain white rice
  • 2 cups water (or no sodium beef broth)
  • 1 (1-ounce) packet onion soup mix
  • 1 stick butter (1/2 cup), sliced into 12 “pats”

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly coat an 8 x 8-inch or 11 x 7-inch baking pan with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In the prepared baking pan, combine 1 cup of long grain white rice, 2 cups of water or no sodium beef broth, and a 1-ounce packet of onion soup mix. Stir gently to evenly distribute the soup mix throughout the rice and liquid.
  3. Add Butter: Place the 1 stick of butter, sliced into 12 small pats, evenly over the top of the rice mixture in the pan. This will melt during baking and create a rich, buttery flavor.
  4. Cover and Bake: Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil to seal in moisture. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  5. Continue Baking Uncovered: After 30 minutes, carefully remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes uncovered. This allows the rice to finish cooking and lets excess moisture evaporate.
  6. Fluff and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and fluff the rice gently with a fork to separate the grains. Serve warm as a flavorful side dish to complement your meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute water with no sodium beef broth for richer flavor.
  • Ensure the baking pan is tightly covered with foil during the first 30 minutes to trap steam for even cooking.
  • Use long grain white rice for the best texture; other rice types may require adjustments in cooking time or liquid quantity.
  • Fluffing the rice at the end helps keep the texture light and fluffy.
