Preparation of Oven and Dish: Begin by preheating your oven to a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit (218 degrees Celsius). Concurrently, prepare a 9×9-inch baking dish by spraying it evenly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Assembling Ingredients: In the prepared baking dish, combine the rinsed long-grain white rice along with the onion powder, garlic powder, and a suitable amount of black pepper for seasoning. Over this, evenly distribute the undiluted beef consomme. Place small dollops of butter across the surface to ensure a rich flavor profile throughout.
-
Initial Baking Phase: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to seal in moisture and flavor, essential for the rice to absorb the liquids effectively. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
-
Final Baking Phase: After the initial baking, remove the aluminum foil to allow the rice to brown slightly on top. Continue to bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, until the rice is fully cooked and slightly crispy on the edges.
