Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease or spray a 9x13-inch baking pan or large casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Add the white rice, French onion soup, beef consommé soup, onion powder, and garlic powder to the prepared baking pan. Mix well to combine.
Place the butter slices on the top of the rice mixture, then cover it tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake for 50-55 minutes, removing the foil in the last 10 minutes. Cook until the rice is tender and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let the rice rest for 5-10 minutes before fluffing with a fork. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley, if desired.

Notes

Can you use brown rice? Yes. However, the recipe will require additional cooking liquid and cook time. The total amount of liquid and time will vary, but I would start by adding an extra half-cup of broth and 10 minutes of cooking time.
Should you rinse the rice before cooking? Yes. Rinsing the rice removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming overly sticky and gummy.
Leftovers: Transfer leftovers to an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
