🧈🥩🥦 Stick of Butter Beef & Broccoli Rice Bake
Buttery, savory, and oven-baked to perfection — a one-pan comfort meal that feeds the whole family.
If you loved the chicken version, this Stick of Butter Beef & Broccoli Rice takes it up a notch. Tender beef bakes over seasoned rice and broccoli, soaking up rich flavor from beef consommé, French onion soup, and — yes — a whole stick of butter.
It’s simple. It’s filling. And it stretches beautifully for busy weeknights.
