Open in Pepper →The Rice That Bakes While You Rest
Rice on the stove wants watching. This kind goes in a dish with butter and broth, into the oven, and comes out soft and brown-buttery without you standing over it.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection on the nights the oven is already on and the main dish still needs a side, or when a can of soup and a cup of rice is all that's left in the pantry.
Every recipe here is that same easy pan: Beefy Butter Rice and French Onion Butter Rice, two versions of Stick of Butter Rice, Stick of Butter Rice & Beef Tips, Miracle Herb-Butter Rice, Grandma's Baked Rice with Mushrooms, Stick of Butter Rice with Chicken and Mushrooms, and plain Baked Rice.
Quick Tips
- 1
Skip the instant rice
Use long-grain white rice, not instant or minute rice — instant turns to mush in the 60 to 90 minutes this spends in the oven.
- 2
Cover it tight
Seal the dish with foil for the first 30 minutes so the steam stays in, then uncover for the last 15 to 20 to brown the top.
- 3
Watch the salt
Canned French onion soup and beef consomme are both salty, so use low-sodium broth and taste before adding any salt at the end.
- 4
Let it sit
Rest the rice 10 minutes after it comes out of the oven so the last of the liquid soaks in, then fluff with a fork.
