Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 10.5 oz can French onion soup
  • 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese optional, for topping
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese optional, for topping
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • Fresh parsley optional, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Rice: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions and garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Stir in the uncooked rice, beef broth, and French onion soup. Mix well.
  3. Cook the Rice: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  4. Add Cheese (Optional): If using cheese, sprinkle the shredded Swiss and Parmesan cheese over the top of the cooked rice. Cover the saucepan for a few minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
  5. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
