Equipment

8x8 inch baking dish
Aluminum foil
Oven
Measuring cups
Spoon

Ingredients

1 cup long grain white rice
10 ounces Campbell's French onion soup
10 ounces Campbell's Beef consommé or beef broth
1 stick unsalted butter sliced into tablespoons
½ teaspoon garlic powder optional
¼ teaspoon black pepper optional
fresh parsley for garnish optional

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease an 8x8-inch or similar-sized baking dish with cooking spray or a light coating of butter.
In the greased baking dish, pour in 1 cup of long grain white rice, 10 ounces of Campbell's French onion soup, and 10 ounces of Campbell's beef consommé (or beef broth). Do not stir the mixture.
Place the slices of unsalted butter evenly over the top of the rice mixture. This will ensure the butter melts evenly throughout the dish as it bakes.
For added flavor, sprinkle ½ teaspoon of garlic powder and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper over the top of the mixture.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed the liquids. The top should be golden and slightly crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before fluffing the rice with a fork. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

Cooking Notes

Keeping the dish tightly covered at the beginning helps the rice absorb the liquid evenly while staying tender. Removing the foil later allows the top to become lightly golden and slightly crisp.

Tips for Best Results:

Use long-grain white rice for the proper texture and cook time.
Slice the butter evenly so it melts across the entire dish.
Avoid stirring the rice mixture before baking.
Let the rice rest briefly before fluffing with a fork.

How to Know It’s Ready:

The rice should be tender with most of the liquid absorbed. The top should appear lightly golden around the edges.
