Ingredients

  • 2 cups Long Grain White Rice, uncooked, rinsed very well
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can French Onion Soup
  • 1 ¼ cups Beef Broth
  • ¼ cup Water
  • 1 (4 oz) can Sliced Mushrooms, drained (optional)
  • ½ med Sweet Onion, sliced thinly and cut into quarter moon shapes
  • 1 Tbsp Dried or Fresh Parsley Flakes
  • 1 lg clove Garlic, finely minced
  • 4 Tbsp Melted Butter
  • ¼ tsp Kosher Salt
  • ¼ tsp Pepper

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients in the inner liner pot of the pressure cooker. Stir well.
  • Close the lid and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.
  • Press the Pressure Cook/Manual button or dial.
  • Then press the +/- button or dial and select 3 minutes. High pressure.
  • The pot will take about 5 minutes to come to pressure.
  • When the cook time has finished, let the pot sit undisturbed for 9 minutes (9 minute Natural Release).
  • Turn the steam release knob to the Venting position to release the remaining pressure/steam.
  • When the pin in the lid drops back down, open the lid carefully.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork, and gently stir.
  • Serve the rice hot, with extra parsley on top, if desired.

Notes

Make in the 3 qt, 5 qt, 6 qt, or 8 qt pot.
You can add chicken to this if you want a one-pot meal. For an average sized 8 oz skinless/boneless breast, cut it in fourths. This will ensure it cooks without drying out. If the pieces are pretty thick, cut them just a little smaller, maybe in sixths and toss them in with the rice.
