# Ingredients:
→ Essentials
01 -
1½ sticks of butter, cut into slices (about ¾ cup)
02 -
2 uncooked cups long-grain white rice (avoid instant kinds)
03 -
¾ cup plain water
04 -
2 cans (10.5 ounces each) classic French onion soup
05 -
2 cans (10.5 ounces each) beef broth or consommé
06 -
½ to 1 teaspoon garlic salt (adjust to your taste)
07 -
1 pound of ground beef, preferably lean
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn your oven to 425°F to preheat. As it heats, grab a 9x13-inch pan and coat it with a generous spray of cooking oil.
02 -
Heat up a large skillet and toss in the ground beef with a bit of garlic salt. Cook it fully while breaking it into small, even pieces.
03 -
Pour the cooked ground beef and rice into your greased pan. Add the soup, broth, and water next. Stir it all around until it looks well blended.
04 -
Take all those butter slices and evenly lay them over the mixture. They'll melt down and bring loads of deliciousness.
05 -
Use foil to cover the top of the dish and set it in the heated oven for 30 minutes.
06 -
Take the foil off and let it cook for another 30 minutes, or until it's bubbling and piping hot.
07 -
When everything's ready, fluff up the dish softly with a fork and dish it out while it's warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Want fewer dirty pans? Use a heavy cast iron Dutch oven or large 12-inch cast iron pan. Brown the beef in it first, mix in the other stuff, and bake straight from there!
