Transform an everyday side into a cheesy, show-stopping centerpiece. This recipe takes the beloved flavors of classic French Onion Soup and melds them into the most comforting baked rice dish you’ll ever taste. 

"This is my new go-to rice dish!" said recipe cross-tester Amanda Stanfield. "It’s creamy, super oniony (in the best way possible), and cheesy! The canned French onion soup paired with sherry vinegar adds depth of flavor without having to work for it—a clever way to make a meal a thousand times better!"

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices

  • 3/4 cup shredded Gruyère cheese

  • 1/2 cup pre-shredded low-moisture whole-milk mozzarella cheese

  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove and discard foil, and continue baking at 425 degrees F )220 degrees C) until rice is cooked through and the majority of the liquid is absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
