Beefy Rice Bake

 Or Beefy Rice Slow Cooker Concoction

Servings: 4

This is a slight variation on a recipe that my Mom often made to serve as a side dish with steak, pork chops, or chicken.  This is a family favorite, tasty, and easy. If you don't care for onions, then substitute a can of beef consomme for the French onion soup.

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup uncooked long grain rice (not Minute rice)

1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed French Onion soup

1 (10.5 ounce) can beef broth (I used low sodium)

¼ cup butter

Optional: 1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained

DIRECTIONS:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
• Mix together rice, soup, broth, and mushrooms
• Place in 8x8 square baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray
• Top with butter slices
• Cover and bake for one hour.
• *Or if you have a rice cooker, place all ingredients in rice cooker!  Easy!
