Step-by-Step Instructions for French Onion Butter Rice

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Combine long grain white rice, French onion soup, and beef broth in the greased baking dish. If using, add chopped onions and stir thoroughly.
Slice butter into thin pats and arrange evenly on top of the rice mixture.

After 30 minutes, carefully remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20-25 minutes until the top is golden.
Once done, let it sit for a few minutes and fluff with a fork before serving.
