Ingredients

  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed French onion soup (I use Campbell's)
  • 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
  • ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, diced into small cubes
  • Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley or thyme

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 1½ or 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In the prepared dish, whisk together the condensed soup, beef broth, and garlic powder.

  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 1 hour. Fluff the rice with a fork. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs, if desired.

Notes

  • This recipe is specifically designed for and tested with long-grain white rice. I don't recommend substituting with other varieties of rice (such as instant rice or brown rice) because the amount of liquid necessary and the baking instructions will change.
  • The sliced mushrooms add great flavor and texture to the dish. That said, I know that mushrooms are controversial -- especially with children. If you'd like to omit them, that's fine! The rice is still delicious, even without the little fungi!
