Servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice thoroughly rinsed
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder or to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Two 10.5-ounce cans beef consomme undiluted
- 4 –6 tablespoons butter sliced into small pieces
Instructions
Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Assemble the Ingredients
- Spread the rinsed rice evenly across the baking dish. Sprinkle with onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper, ensuring even distribution. Pour the undiluted beef consomme over the rice, ensuring it is fully submerged. Arrange small slices of butter evenly across the surface of the mixture.
Begin Baking
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to seal in moisture. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
Finish Baking
- After the initial baking time, remove the foil to allow the top to brown slightly. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20–30 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and lightly crispy around the edges.
Rest and Serve
- Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld and makes it easier to serve.
Notes
To make this dish gluten-free, substitute the French onion soup and beef consomme with gluten-free alternatives. Many brands offer gluten-free canned broths that replicate the same savory flavors. Ensure all other seasonings and ingredients are certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
