Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed French onion soup
- 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed beef consommé
- 1 stick butter (8 tbsp), sliced into 8 pats
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the baking dish: Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Layer the rice: Spread the uncooked jasmine rice evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish, creating a uniform layer.
- Add soups and sauce: Pour the condensed French onion soup and condensed beef consommé evenly over the rice. Then sprinkle the Worcestershire sauce evenly across the top to add depth of flavor.
- Top with butter: Arrange the sliced pats of butter evenly over the rice mixture to provide moisture and a rich buttery taste as it bakes.
- Cover and bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil, sealing it well to trap steam. Bake in a preheated 425°F oven for 45 minutes.
- Uncover and finish baking: Remove the foil carefully and bake for an additional 15 minutes uncovered to allow the top to brown slightly and the liquid to reduce.
- Rest before serving: Let the baked rice rest for 2-3 minutes to settle and cool slightly before serving for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Using jasmine rice provides a fragrant aroma and fluffy texture; substitute with long-grain rice if desired.
- If you prefer a less rich dish, reduce the butter amount or use light butter alternatives.
- Ensure the baking dish is tightly covered with foil to prevent the rice from drying out during baking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat covered to maintain moisture.
