Notes

Consomme rice: Use 1 can of consomme in place of the beef broth in this recipe, and (if desired) an additional can in place of the onion soup.

Baking dish size: Use a medium-sized baking dish (8X8" or 10.5X7") for fluffy, moist rice. If you like your rice firm and dry, use a 9X13" baking dish instead.

Using French onion soup mix: If you don't have a can of French Onion soup you can use 1 packet of French Onion soup mix plus 1 ¼ cups of beef broth (or water) instead.

Instant Pot: Increase the rice to 2 ¼ cups, but leave the other ingredients as the quantities listed. Cook in the Instant Pot for 6 minutes on high pressure. Do a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then flip the valve to venting to do a quick pressure release. Fluff with a fork and serve.
