Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice (or your preferred type of rice)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) French onion soup
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional, depending on soup’s saltiness)
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice:
    • In a medium saucepan, cook the rice according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves adding rice and water to the saucepan, bringing it to a boil, then reducing the heat to low and covering it.
    • Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
  2. Prepare the French Onion Butter Sauce:
    • While the rice is cooking, melt the butter in a separate saucepan over medium heat.
    • Once melted, add the French onion soup, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt (if using). Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Combine:
    • Once the rice is cooked, add it to the saucepan with the French onion butter mixture.
    • Stir well to coat the rice evenly with the sauce.
  4. Simmer:
    • Let the rice and sauce simmer together for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Garnish and Serve:
    • Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
    • Serve hot as a side dish.
