Stick of butter rice is a popular side dish in the South.
It is also called "Southern Brown Rice, Church Lady Rice, Beef Consommé Rice, and French Onion Baked Rice."
Because it uses a stick of butter, we called it "Stick of Butter Rice."
The beef and butter flavors make the rice rich and creamy.
The baked rice pairs perfectly with chicken, pork, or beef.
