Just 4 simple, pantry staple ingredients make up this rice side dish that will blow your mind! Kids and adults alike will be begging you to make it again!
Yeah, you read that title correctly… stick of butter rice. This rice dish is my family’s favorite rice recipe… EVER. And I’m betting that once you try it, it’ll be your favorite too! Guess how many ingredients are in this rice? C’mon guess! Okay, here’s the answer….. 4. 4 ingredients. Hello simple side dish!
The other best part about this recipe, is that it’s completely fool-proof and incredibly low maintenance. Even if you think you can’t cook… you can cook this.
You may have these ingredients on hand, which makes this recipe even more awesome! Granted… this isn’t a health-food side dish (I mean, c’mon… it’s called stick of butter rice) lol… but honestly, I say go for it. We all need an indulgence, and it’s GOOD.
This rice isn’t cooked on the stove top like most rice recipes are… it’s baked in the oven. So no burner is being taken up on your stove and you can slide the pan in the oven and forget about it. Okay, well maybe not completelyforget about it lol. But it bakes for an hour and all you have to do is remove the foil after 30 minutes. Simple right?
So here’s the breakdown… long grain white rice, can of beef broth, stick of butter, and a can of condensed french onion soup. That’s it!
Cover with foil and bake at 425 for 30 minutes. Take off foil and bake another 30 minutes.
The old saying “don’t judge a book by it’s cover” applies here… so don’t judge a rice dish by it’s looks. Just take a bite and I promise you, you’ll forget alllllllll about how it looks 😀
This rice would go really well with my Parmesan Crusted Chicken Nuggets, Jack Daniels Glazed Baked Chicken Wings, or Low Carb Baked Chicken Tenders 🙂 A great add-in would be to add a can of sliced mushrooms to the mix.

Flavor is delicious. Next time I will cut the butter in half. It was a little greasy to me but oh the flavor.

I have made this numerous times! It is a huge hit for sure.
I have used beef broth (20oz) rather than the canned soup and brown rice rather than white. It is fabulous!Reply

Is there nutrition for this anywhere?

If I don’t have the French Onion soup I substitute a can of beef consommé and an onion

I wanted you to know this can be cooked in an Instant Pot. Increase the rice to 2 cups and pour the rice in first. Pour both cans of soup over the rice making sure the rice is covered. If not press down on it with a large spoon or spatchala. Slice the butter into pats and place on top of soup covered rice. Do NOT stir. Put lid on and set time on Manual for 13 minutes. Do a quick release and fluff the rice.

Can this be made in a rice cooker?

This recipe wasn’t developed to be cooked in a rice cooker. That’s not to say that it can’t be done, but I haven’t tested it, and can’t say how well it would work or if any changes would need to be made. If you do some experimenting, I’d love to know how it turns out 🙂

It cooked perfectly in the oven, 30 minutes covered and 30 minutes uncovered.

Can this be made in the crockpot? I’m making city chicken, which needs to be in low heat in the oven so just curious if I can make the rice in a crockpot

I haven’t tested this recipe in a slow cooker, so I can’t say for certain if it would work or whether any changes would need to be made. If you do some experimenting, I’d love to know how it turns out 🙂
