Ingredients
1 cup long grain white rice
1 packet French onion soup mix
1 cup beef broth
1 cup water
1/2 cup unsalted butter
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
2. In the baking dish, mix together the rice, French onion soup mix, beef broth, and water until evenly combined.
3. Slice the butter into thin pats and arrange them over the top of the mixture.
4. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
5. Remove foil and bake uncovered for another 30 minutes.

Notes
Let the butter melt on top—no need to stir before baking.
Avoid using instant rice; long grain holds texture better.
For extra richness, substitute some of the water with more broth.
