Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

As things go, I found a recipe for french onion rice and then modified it beyond recognition. If you’re looking for a baked rice, the original recipe for Maria’s Rice is located here. But if you’d like to go the stovetop French Onion Rice I saved the recipe for you! If your pantry is stocked, you may already have everything you need on hand to spice up your rice tonight! Cooking on the cheap is pantry friendly as always!

How to Make French Onion Rice

The French Onion rice recipe is only 4 ingredients, easy enough for a weeknight but fancy enough for a crowd. Oh yes, and pantry friendly too! So that checks all the boxes right?

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!

Why This Recipe Rocks!

This just goes to show you, you don’t have to follow where the initial recipe takes you. Never be a slave to that recipe and use your instincts! This will help you to use what you have on hand, more often and come up with some amazing new recipes designed by you! If you’re looking for more ways to spice up your white rice, I know you will love My Mother in Law’s Spinach Rice! It’s a simple yet delicious recipe just like this one.
