French Onion Baked Rice

Serves 4-6

Prep time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tub of Chris’ Homestyle French Dip

  •  1 1/3 cups of Basmati or Brown Rice

  • 3 rashers of rindless bacon, diced

  • 5 button mushrooms, sliced

  • 1.5 cups of shredded light tasty cheese

  • 2 eggs, lightly whisked

  • 3 tsps of fresh thyme leaves

Method:

  1. Cook the rice as per packet instructions, being careful not to overcook.

  2. In a fry pan, fry the bacon and mushrooms until the bacon begins to crisp (add a little oil if needed).

  3. Grease a (approx.) 20cm x 12cm oven dish with a generous spray of olive oil.

  4. Once the rice is cooked, drain very well from excess water and place in a large bowl.

  5. To the bowl, add the eggs, 1 cup of the cheese, all of the Chris’ French Onion Dip, the bacon and mushroom mix and 2 teaspoons of the fresh thyme leaves. Mix well.

  6. Add the mix to the oven dish and top with the remaining cheese.

  7. Bake at 180c for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are firm and crisping and the cheese on top begins to go golden. 8. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving, then serve topped with the remaining thyme.
