Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

In a 13 x 9 pan or casserole dish that has been well greased, sprinkle in 2 cups of uncooked long grain rice.

Dollop with the fat of your choice and sprinkle with the diced onion. If you are using the Lipton’s onion soup mix, now is the time to sprinkle it on.

Add the 6 cups of water or chicken stock. After 15 minutes, stir the rice so it is well coated in the fat. Now  turn the oven temperature down to 325 and bake for approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes or until the rice is crisp and golden on the top and edges.  Do not stir during baking.

Remove from oven and using a metal spatula, scrape the crispy edges from the sides of the pan. Scoop the interior of the pan into a bowl and place the crispy pieces on top.

Enjoy!
