# Instructions:

Warm the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Stir onions now and then as they cook into a deep golden color (takes around 25-30 minutes).
02 -
Switch oven on to 350°F. Toss together raw rice, onion soup, beef broth, caramelized onions, and spices in a 9x13 pan.

Wrap the dish in foil, then bake for 30 minutes. Stir it up, ditch the foil, and keep baking another 20-25 minutes. Rice should soften up nicely.

Scatter the shredded cheese over it and pop it back in the oven for 5-10 minutes. The cheese should be gooey and bubbly.

Let it settle for a couple minutes. Throw parsley on top if you're feeling fancy, then serve while it’s hot.

You can splash white wine into the pan after cooking the onions for added taste.
