Notes
Check and tweak seasoning: We don’t add salt to this recipe as there is plenty in the beef broth and French onion soup; however, you can season with salt to your liking.
Use long-grain rice: Stick with long-grain white rice for the best texture. It absorbs the flavors without getting mushy, delivering a perfect balance of fluffiness and bite.
Slice the butter evenly: Distribute butter slices evenly across the rice mixture. This ensures the butter melts uniformly, infusing every grain with creamy richness.
Add a pop of freshness: For extra flavor and color, garnish the finished rice with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of green onions. It brightens the dish and balances out the rich buttery taste.
Check for doneness: After baking, fluff the rice with a fork and ensure it’s fully cooked. If it’s too firm, cover the dish with foil again and bake for an extra 5 to 10 minutes.
Serve it warm: Stick of butter rice is best served right out of the oven while the flavors are fresh and the butter is still luscious. If reheating, add a touch of broth to maintain the creamy texture.
