Stick of Butter Baked Rice

Stick of Butter Baked Rice

A rich, buttery, and foolproof side dish that’s crispy on top and perfectly tender inside.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup long-grain white rice (uncooked)

• 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed French onion soup (or cream of mushroom soup for variation)

• 1 (10.5 oz) can beef broth (or chicken/vegetable broth)

• ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick), sliced into pats

• Optional: ¼ tsp black pepper, garlic powder, or fresh herbs

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Combine rice, soup, and broth in an 8×8-inch baking dish. Stir gently.

3. Top with butter pats, evenly distributed across the surface (do not stir in).

4. Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until rice is tender and the top is golden-crispy.

5. Let rest 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork before serving.

Tips:

• For extra flavor: Sauté ½ cup diced onions or mushrooms before adding rice.

• Crispier top: Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end (watch closely!).

• Variations: Substitute wild rice or add Parmesan cheese.

A decadent, old-school favorite with minimal effort! 🧈🍚
