How to Make French Onion Rice

My husband absolutely loved this when I made it for him. You only need rice, butter, Lipton onion soup mix, and a beef bouillon cube! And I say Lipton onion soup mix to be specific on the little packet you’re looking for but they do sell an alternative. At Aldi and the Dollar Tree that is just as delicious and a little less expensive!
