Stick of Butter Rice is a creamy, comforting baked rice dish made with long-grain white rice, French onion soup, beef broth, and a full stick of butter. It’s rich, savory, and incredibly easy to make—all in one pan.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice (uncooked, not instant)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed French onion soup
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed beef broth or beef consommé
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, sliced into pats
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp chopped chives or parsley for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In the dish, combine uncooked rice, condensed French onion soup, and condensed beef broth. Stir gently to mix.
  3. Arrange slices of butter evenly on top of the rice mixture. Do not stir.
  4. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  5. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 25–30 minutes, until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  6. Let rest for 5 minutes, then fluff gently with a fork. Sprinkle with garlic powder, chives, or herbs if desired.
  7. Serve warm as a side dish to meats, vegetables, or casseroles.

Notes

Use long-grain white rice for the best texture—instant or quick rice will become mushy.Reduce sodium by using low-sodium soup and broth.For extra flavor, stir in sautéed mushrooms or minced garlic before baking.Sprinkle cheese on top during the last few minutes of baking for a rich, cheesy crust.Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat with a splash of broth to restore moisture.
