French Onion Soup Rice is a delightful fusion of the classic French onion soup flavors with the comforting texture of rice. This savory side dish combines caramelized onions, beef broth, and melted cheese, making it a perfect accompaniment to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed French onion soup
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Caramelize the Onions:
    • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
    • Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they become golden brown and caramelized, about 25-30 minutes.
  • Combine Ingredients:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • In a 9×13-inch baking dish, combine the uncooked rice, beef broth, condensed French onion soup, garlic powder, dried thyme, and black pepper.
    • Stir in the caramelized onions until evenly distributed.
  • Bake:
    • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
    • Remove the foil, stir the rice, and continue baking uncovered for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  • Add Cheese:
    • Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese evenly over the top of the rice.
    • Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve:
    • Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes.
    • Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • For added depth of flavor, deglaze the skillet with a splash of white wine after caramelizing the onions.
  • This dish pairs well with roasted meats or can be enjoyed as a standalone vegetarian entrée.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
