Prep time: 10-15 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour

Ingredients
- 1 stick butter
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup long-grain rice
- 1 can beef broth or vegetable broth (approximately 14 oz)

- Stir in the rice, beef broth, mushrooms with their liquid, and a dash of salt. Mix well to combine.
- Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish.
- Cover the casserole dish and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- If desired, remove the cover during the last few minutes of cooking to brown the top of the casserole.
