Elle's Effortlessly Easy Rice

This is so delicious and versatile that it can honestly be served with just about anything. With just four ingredients that I always have on hand, this is a go-to recipe in our household.



Ingredients
  • 1 cup uncooked long grain white rice NOT instant
  • 10 oz can of condensed French Onion Soup
  • 10 oz can of condensed Beef Broth
  • 1 stick butter (1/2 cup) sliced thinly
Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. In an 8x8 inch baking dish combine rice, soup and broth.
  3. Cut butter into slices and place on top of the mixture.
  4. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  5. Remove foil and bake 30 minutes more.

Optional
  • After step #4, you can add two seasoned chicken breasts to bake with the rice. 
  • When rice is done, you can put it in a ramekin and cook in air fryer (or on broil in the oven) to crisp up the rice (Mark likes his crunchy in the air fryer, I like mine right out of the oven when it is more moist.
  • We freeze leftovers and they reheat beautifully.

June Scriptures

God has not given us a spirit of fear 
For the Spirit God gave us 
does not make us timid, 
but gives us power, love and self-discipline. 
2 Timothy 1:7

Be sober-minded; be watchful. 
Your adversary the devil prowls 
around like a roaring lion, 
seeking someone to devour. 
Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing 
that the same kinds of suffering 
are being experienced 
by your brotherhood 
throughout the world.
1 Peter 5:8-9 

Put on the whole armor of God, 
that you may be able to stand against 
the schemes of the devil. 
For we do not wrestle against 
flesh and blood, but 
against the rulers, 
against the authorities, 
against the cosmic powers 
over this present darkness, 
against the spiritual forces 
of evil in the heavenly places. 
Therefore take up the 
whole armor of God, 
that you may be able to 
withstand in the evil day, 
and having done all, to stand firm. 
Stand therefore, having 
fastened on the belt of truth, and 
having put on the breastplate 
of righteousness and, as shoes for your feet, 
having put on the readiness given 
by the gospel of peace. 
In all circumstances 
take up the shield of faith, 
with which you can extinguish 
all the flaming darts of the evil one
and take the helmet of salvation, 
and the sword of the Spirit, 
which is the word of God,
Ephesians 6:11-17

Call on me in the day of trouble; 
I will deliver you, and you will honor me.
Psalm 50:15

We destroy arguments and 
every lofty opinion 
raised against the knowledge of God, 
and take every thought captive 
to obey Christ
2 Corinthians 10:5

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, 
as some understand slowness. 
Instead he is patient with you, 
not wanting anyone to perish, 
but everyone to come to repentance.
 2 Peter 3:9 

Peace I leave with you; 
my peace I give to you. 
Not as the world gives do I give to you. 
Let not your hearts be troubled, 
neither let them be afraid.

The lord is my light and salvation, 
whom shall I fear 
The Lord is the stronghold of my life,
of whom shall I be afraid?

The Lord is my rock, 
my fortress and my deliverer; 
my God is my rock, 
in whom I take refuge, 
my shield and the horn of 
my salvation, my stronghold. 
Psalm 18:2 

In you, Lord, I have taken refuge; 
let me never be put to shame; 
deliver me in your righteousness. 
Psalm 31:1 

 Into your hands I commit my spirit; 
deliver me, Lord, my faithful God. 
Psalm 31:5 

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. 
Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. 
I will strengthen you 
and help you. 
I will hold you up 
with my victorious right hand.
isaiah 41:10 

For I am the LORD your God 
who takes hold of your right hand 
and says to you, 
Do not fear; I will help you.

through Christ who strengthens me.
