French Onion Baked Rice

I was looking for something different to make for our dinner one night.
Rice is a fave with TH and TS, not so much mine unless its a fried rice.

This recipes is easy to throw together if you have everything at hand.
I have not seen the cans of French onion soup here so I had to call to Friends the US and find out how much was in a can so I could make that amount of soup of French onion soup.

The soup is easy to make if you don't have any in a can. Its one of my faves

I'll post a quick version of it (not so quick, but easy to make and leave to simmer while your doing other stuff)

What you'll need

uncooked long grain/basmati rice ~ 1 cup
french onion soup ~ 600 ml or 2 10oz cans (see below for quick homemade)
butter  cubed ~ 1/3 cup
Worcestershire sauce ~ 1 1/2 teaspoons


Grease an oven proof dish
add the rice
pour in the french onion soup
add the Worcestershire sauce and mix well
Add the cubed butter and cover with foil

Bake at 220°C/425°F  for 20 minutes.
Then remove foil and give a stir and cook for a further 10 minutes

Enjoy!
