Consommé French Onion Rice Casserole

You may have heard this recipe called Stick of Butter Rice, but I call it French Onion Rice because the flavor comes from Campbell's French Onion Soup, not the butter. It's a baked onion rice recipe that cooks like a casserole – creamy, savory, and perfect for any meal. It can also be made using onion soup mix for a similar flavor.
This easy French onion rice recipe is a savory, dump-and-bake side dish made with canned French onion soup (or onion soup mix), beef broth, and butter. With just 4 pantry ingredients, it's simple to prepare and full of rich, comforting flavor.
