Directions:
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Meanwhile, take an 8×8 inch pan and evenly spread the uncooked rice at the bottom.
Layering Flavors: Pour the beef broth over the rice, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. Follow this by pouring in the French onion soup, infusing the rice with its savory essence.
Adding Richness: Slice the cold butter into pats and layer them evenly over the rice and soup mixture. This adds a rich, buttery flavor that melds beautifully with the savory notes of the soup.
Baking Brilliance: Cover the dish with tin foil and place it in the preheated oven. Let it bake for 25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the rice to absorb the liquid.
Final Touch: After 25 minutes, remove the tin foil, return the dish to the oven, and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the top is golden brown.
Garnish and Serve: Once baked to perfection, sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve warm alongside your favorite main course.
