Savory Baked Rice

Jazz up your rice side dish. This one is so easy 

because you can do most of it ahead of time and

then bake in the oven along with whatever else

 you have in there. It's especially good with grilled

flank steak, pork chops, or pork tenderloin.

I like it when we're grilling
my favorite marinated flank steak
along with artichokes and garlic-lemon
butter for dipping. Doesn't that sound
 like a delicious combination. But it's also nice
with a cranberry chicken or pork roast.

 You saute onions, mushrooms,
and garlic in lots of butter.

Add condensed beef consommé, water,
 rice, and remaining ingredients.

 Give it a stir.

 Cover and bake it for 1 hour.

Fluff with a fork when done.
