This old-timey brown rice is a classic Southern side dish made with simple ingredients and rich, savory flavor. Don’t let the name fool you—this isn’t traditional brown rice, but tender white rice baked in a delicious blend of beef consommé and onion soup until it turns perfectly golden and full of flavor.

Baked low and slow in the oven, this easy rice casserole comes out fluffy, buttery, and infused with that deep, comforting taste that makes it a favorite for Sunday suppers, holiday tables, and church potlucks.

If you love old-fashioned recipes that stand the test of time, this baked brown rice is one you’ll come back to again and again.

Notes

Always place your baking dish on a sheet pan in case of spills and for ease getting dishes in and out of the oven
Make sure to cover tightly while baking to prevent the rice from drying out.
If rice seems slightly firm, add a splash of broth and bake a little longer.
Adjust salt to taste depending on the sodium level of your soups. I don't add any additional salt or seasonings.
Leftovers reheat beautifully with a bit of added moisture.
