Hey there, y’all ever tried makin’ rice with French onion soup? Lemme tell ya, it’s a real treat, easy to make too. Now I know folks think fancy food gotta be all complicated, but this here’s as simple as pie. All ya need is some rice, a can of French onion soup, some beef broth, and a bit of butter. Heck, ya probably already got most of it at home!
So first things first, gather up these ingredients:
- 1 cup long-grain rice (plain ol’ white rice works best)
- 1 can of French onion soup (just get the ready-made kind, saves a load of time)
- 1 can beef broth
- Half a stick of butter, cut up in small pieces
Now that’s all ya need! Simple, right? This little combo gonna make that rice all savory and rich, just like a fancy restaurant meal but without all them complications.
Step 1: Mix it All Together
Get yourself a big ol’ mixing bowl. Pour in that cup of rice, the whole can of French onion soup, and a can of beef broth. Give it a good stir. Now, I know what you’re thinkin’—“Ain’t rice supposed to be cooked in water?” But trust me, this here beef broth and soup mix is where all that magic happens. That broth and soup mix gives the rice that deep, rich flavor. Mmm, you gonna wanna eat it right out the bowl once it’s cooked, I’m tellin’ ya!
Step 2: Butter It Up
Now, this is where the butter comes in. Take that half stick of butter ya cut up earlier, and sprinkle them pieces all over the rice mix. Butter’s gonna melt right into that rice while it cooks, makin’ it real creamy and delicious. You could skip it, but trust me, butter’s what makes this dish sing. Cover the bowl with aluminum foil to keep that moisture in.
Step 3: Bake It Good
Now, get that oven goin’ at 350°F. Once it’s hot, pop that dish in there and let it bake for ’bout 30 minutes. Keep the foil on so all that steam stays inside, makin’ the rice all fluffy and rich. After 30 minutes, take off that foil, give it a little stir, and let it cook another 20-30 minutes without the foil. This’ll help the top get a little golden, just like the cheese on top of a French onion soup.
Step 4: Serve It Up
When it’s done, take it out, let it cool a bit, then serve it up. This rice got all that beefy, oniony flavor mixed in, like a cozy soup turned into rice. It’s perfect as a side dish with a nice piece of chicken or steak. Or heck, eat it by itself! This rice is so tasty, y’all might not need nothin’ else on the plate.
Tips for the Best French Onion Rice
- Wanna get a bit fancy? Sprinkle some shredded cheese on top before the last 10 minutes of baking. Cheese’ll melt and get all bubbly, just like on top of French onion soup.
- Try caramelizin’ onions if you got time. Cook ’em slow in a bit of butter until they’re nice and brown, then mix ’em in with the rice for even more flavor.
- If you like it real rich, swap out a bit of the broth with a splash of cream. Cream makes it even more cozy and smooth.
And there ya go! That’s all there is to it. Easy as makin’ toast but tastes like a restaurant dish. This French onion soup rice is somethin’ ya’ll keep makin’ once ya try it. It’s a warm, cozy dish for those nights when ya just want somethin’ simple but good.
