Brown Rice

I was always taught and still do it, to brown your white rice & butter in a pot on top of your stove. Once browned, then you pour your rice into a baking dish and add the other ingredients and bake. Works wonders..

add some Lipton onion seasoning to this recipe and it’s a blast of flavor in your mouth. This recipe is a go to.

Husband an I loved it was easy to make went well with our chicken and vegatables

Are used everything it said and did it the way it said except for I cook the rice for a half an hour in a pot first. Then in the oven after an hour I still had too much juice I took the aluminum foil off and cooked in additional 30 minutes excellent served it under shishKebabs from this site.

Shame on me for not reading the reviews before I made this. After this had been in the oven for an hour, I removed it and let it sit covered for 30 minutes while I cooked the rest of my meal that needed cooked at a higher temp. Even then, the rice wasn’t even close to being done and we ate crunchy rice. I actually liked the flavor of the french onion soup and the beef broth but the basil was completely out of place. Parsley would be a better choice. I tend to be rice challenged and was looking forward to this simple method but it does not work.

Everyone in the house loved it . Definitely will be making it over and over Again

Really good. Used brown rice. I microwaved the broth, 1 packet dried onion soup mix and butter till hot about 5 mins then stirred in rice and seasoning. Only took 45 mins. Left lid on for nearly 30 mins while finished rest of meal and the rice was still fluffy, hot and good. I added my own salt and pepper but everyone else ate it without adding anything. I’m going to use leftovers for fried rice tomorrow. Thank you for nice recipe which would work well for a buffet dinner.

I made it substituting olive oil for the butter. I can’t seem to make regular rice and this worked great for me. Even my wife liked it and she’s a rice connoisseur. I will make it again sometime.

I couldn’t get the rice to cook. It was in the oven for an hour, then stove top for 30 minutes. Rice was still not done. Very frustrated.

Did not care for this recipe as the brown rice was not cooked even after putting it in much longer and more broth added.

This rice turned out perfect. I didn’t have condensed onion soup so I used a Lipton’s Onion soup mix. I used beef bouillion granules to make the beef broth. put the butter in and the basil. stirred it at 30 minutes and in an hour was so tasty. added just a tiny bit more Worcester sauce to it. Never baked rice in oven before but this worked perfectly.

I made a few changes to the recipe: 1 cup of long grain white rice, 1 can french onion soup, 1 can beef consume’, 1/2 stick of REAL butter. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes OR microwave on high for 6 minutes (covered) then microwave at 40% power for 30 minutes!!! If I am making this at home, I microwave, if I am doing this for Thanksgiving and doubling, I cook in the oven for 1h and 15 minutes. Voila! Enjoy

This was a great side dish. I followed the recipe exactly, with the exception that I used 1/2 of the basil called for. My rice came out perfectly done with a wonderful flavor. And it was probably the easiest recipe I have ever made. What could be simpler than stir everything together? For those reviewers who used brown rice and then had difficulty with getting it done, brown rice takes more liquid and more time…

I did it word for word. Minute for minute. Left nothing out. Added nothing. It was perfect. Also, it was so easy. Mixed and cooked it in the casserole dish.

suggestion for non-instant brown rice users: Boil broth, soup and seasonings before pouring over rice in an oven safe dish, then cover with foil.

This was fabulous! I had been looking for a good recipe for plain rice for years without any luck. My hunt is over! This is it! The best rice I have ever tasted!

Used brown basmati rice and dry onion sup mix so doubled the stock amount and it took double the time to cook. Very tasty rice dish.

This recipe was very good! I want to eat more brown rice instead of white rice and stumbled upon this recipe. Brown rice always tastes like cardboard to me, but this was very good! I used the suggestions as others mentioned; brown rice instead of white rice, baked 1 1/2 hours instead of 1 hour and used only 1 tsp. of basil instead of 1 tbsp. Will make again! Thank you!

Best brown rice I’ve ever eaten! Loved, Loved, Loved it. I went with a couple of reviews I had read and cut the basil and Worcestershire sauce from my recipe; and like most I didn’t have the soup but I did have the Lipton mix. I also used a beef bouillon in place of the broth, so altogether I used 2 cups of water( 1 to dissolve the bouillon and the other for the onion mix). I cooked my rice according to the instructions and it was perfectly cooked. I will definitely be eating brown rice more often Now.

Sorry! Used all the ingredients as told but, it didn’t work for us. My husband rarely dislikes my food but today, he actually told me to “take care of the rest”… Don’t know, guess the cans were too much.

Excellent rice. No changes to ingredients, oven temperature, or cooking time. To those who change the recipe up and then give bad reviews because you don’t like what you cooked, shame!
