<\/p>\n
First, set your oven to 425\u00b0F (220\u00b0C) so it gets hot while you prepare everything.<\/p>\n
Next, take an 8\u00d78-inch baking dish (or something similar) and lightly grease it. You can use a little butter or cooking spray to keep the rice from sticking.<\/p>\n
Now, pour your uncooked rice into the dish, spreading it out evenly so it forms a nice, flat layer.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Take your beef broth and pour it over the rice, making sure it covers everything evenly.<\/p>\n
Next, open the French onion soup can and pour it on top of the rice and broth. Try not to stir it\u2014keeping the layers separate helps with texture and makes the rice more flavorful.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Take your stick of butter and cut it into small pieces (slices or chunks). This helps it melt evenly.<\/p>\n
Now, place these pieces all over the top of the rice mixture. The butter will slowly melt in the oven, making everything rich, flavorful, and slightly crispy on top.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cover your baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. This helps trap the steam inside, so the rice cooks properly and doesn\u2019t dry out.<\/p>\n
Put the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes. During this time, the rice will start absorbing all the liquid and softening up.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After 25 minutes, carefully take the dish out of the oven and remove the foil (watch out for the hot steam!).<\/p>\n
Put the dish back into the oven uncovered and bake for another 25 minutes. This allows the rice to finish cooking while also giving the top a slightly golden, crispy texture.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Once the rice is done, take it out of the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes. This helps the flavors settle and makes the rice even tastier.<\/p>\n
For a final touch, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top. This adds a pop of color and a fresh flavor!<\/p>\n
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious, buttery, French Onion Rice!<\/p>\n
