French Onion Rice
From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito
I discovered the recipe for this French onion rice only a few years ago and it became a fast family favorite.
This rice is so easy to make and loaded with flavor.
If you like the flavors in French onion soup, then you will absolutely love this recipe.
It serves as an incredible side dish that complements any main course you can imagine.
And it’s super easy to make, too.
There’s pretty much nothing to it beyond tossing all the ingredients into the pot and letting the oven do it to work.
I love simple and easy recipes like this that I don’t have to babysit on the stove.
It gives me the freedom to use more time towards preparing the other things I need for dinner.
No matter what I serve this with, it’s always my family’s favorite thing at the dinner table.
I know that if you give this recipe a try, you’ll love it just as much as my family and I do.
Fast. Simple. Delicious.

What can I serve this French onion rice with?
This rice would be the perfect side dish for so many different entrées.
So the choice is really up to you.
If you are looking for some inspiration, here are some recipes I think would go along with this side dish perfectly.
What if I don’t have a Dutch oven?
If you don’t have a Dutch oven, that’s no problem.
You can add all the ingredients into either an oven safe pot or baking dish
Just be sure to bake it covered with a tight seal.
What rice can I use?
You have the option to choose whatever type of rice you’d like for this recipe, as long as it’s not the instant kind.
Instant rice would dry out fast and burn in the pan. Not good.
Do I have to use beef broth for this rice recipe?
I lean towards using beef broth in this recipe.
But you can use chicken or vegetable if you’d prefer for any specific reason

Used low sodium beef broth and still found it way too salty for my tastes. Will play around with the ratios of French onion soup and water to cut the saltiness.

Can you make this on the stovetop? Don’t really want to use the oven because the weather is still hot

This looks great! Have you ever tried adding any meat to make it a complete meal?

This recipe was delicious! I however only used 1 teaspoon instead of 2 tablespoons of garlic. And I held off on the salt as other comments mentioned it was salty. I figured you could salt and pepper your own. It cooked up perfectly!

I have no idea who that is. I actually got this recipe from Steph Pappas and I have credited her many times. Besides it’s very very hard to track down the true creator of a recipe. They’re meant to be shared. I can and will only acknowledge credit from who inspired me/ I got the recipe from.
