Oven Buttered Rice

Long grain white rice baked with beef broth and savory packet seasoning. Butter slices floated on top melt slowly, creating a rich surface aroma. Covered then uncovered during baking to develop texture — tender grains with crisp edges. Utilizes visual and tactile cues over exact timing, perfect for noisy kitchens where timers get missed. Deep casserole recommended to avoid boil-overs and uneven cooking. Substitutes: chicken broth or vegetable broth fine, onion soup mix replaceable with garlic powder and dried herbs. Fluffing post-bake aerates grains, prevents clumping. Ideal side for robust meats or as a simple one-pot dish.
