Equipment

2 quart casserole dish

Ingredients

1 cup long grain white rice (not instant)
1 packet onion soup mix , 2 tablespoons homemade
2.5 cups low-sodium beef broth
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F and spray a 8x8 or 2 quart casserole or baking dish with cooking spray. We've found that a deep, high sided dish works better than a shallow, wide dish.
Stir together the 1 cup long grain white rice (not instant), 1 packet onion soup mix and 2.5 cups low-sodium beef broth.
Slice the 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick) into smaller pats and float evenly on top of the rice and broth.
Cover tightly with foil or the lid and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil/lid and bake for another 30 minutes.
Remove and fluff with a fork before serving.
