Basmati Rice Risotto
Basmati rice risotto is an awesome side dish for any meal. My sister found this recipe on a bag of basmati rice and we have been making it since. It’s also known as Stick of Butter Rice.
It’s another super easy, dump and bake kind of recipe. No standing over the cooktop. This rice is simple but so full of flavor.

Basmati Rice Risotto
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the stick of butter in the casserole dish and allow to melt in the preheating oven.
The recipe calls for margarine but I use real butter. You can use margarine if you prefer.
Once the butter is melted, combine the beef consommé soup, french onion soup, sliced mushrooms, and rice in the casserole dish. I have made this without mushrooms ( I don’t always have canned mushrooms on hand) and it’s still really flavorful.
Bake for an hour.

Once baked, fluff the cooked rice lightly with a fork (the onions will rise to the top). Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the top.
The recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of parmesan but I have been known to put way more than that on top.
The cheese will melt if you are patient enough. Â Serve with your favorite main dish. Don’t be fooled, it might not be a pretty dish but it is extremely delicious!
This dish goes great with our Thick Cut Bone-in Pork Chops!

I’m a big fan of easy “dump and bake” recipes like this, it sounds delicious, I definitely like to add a bit more cheese than called for too! Thanks for sharing at What’d You Do This Weekend?!
I’m on a low carb diet, but I’d have a definite cheat day for this. This looks AH-MAZING. Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday!
