Flavorful French Onion Soup Rice Recipe

 

Ingredients

1 cup long-grain white rice

2 cups beef broth

2 large onions, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat.

Add the sliced onions and sugar to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.

While the onions are cooking, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Once the onions are caramelized, add the garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

Add the rice to the skillet and stir to coat the rice with the onion mixture.

Pour in the beef broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

Preheat your oven to broil.

Transfer the rice mixture to an oven-safe dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.

Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
