Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather a medium-sized baking dish, measuring cups, and utensils.
In your prepared baking dish, combine uncooked long grain rice with the beef broth and the canned French onion soup. Stir well.
Dot the rice mixture with cold butter, cutting it into small pats and distributing them evenly.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, carefully remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes.
Once the cooking time is up, let the dish sit for a few minutes. Use a fork to fluff the rice gently and serve.
