Lil’s Baked Rice

But we learned over time the one food my Father did not want to eat was rice. It took some time, but over the years this rice dish was the only rice my Father would enjoy eating.

Description

My father proudly served with the US Army Air Corp stationed in the Pacific during WWII. Like many soldiers returning home from war, very little was shared with others about what they saw and experienced while they were away from home.

Ingredients
  • ¾ stick of butter
  • 1 large onion, minced
  • 2 cans Beef Consommé, undiluted
  • 1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
Directions
  • Preheat oven to 350˚and lightly grease a casserole dish. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, sauté minced onion in butter until transparent and tender, but not brown.
  • Pour the contents of the 2 cans of consommé into the skillet.
  • Bring to a boil. Add the uncooked rice to the skillet and let cook for 2 minutes longer.
  • Pour the entire mixture into a casserole dish and bake covered for approximately an hour and 15 minutes.
