Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x9 baking dish and set it aside.
Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
½ cup butter
Add the rice and cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is lightly browned.
1 cup long grain white rice
Add the browned rice, and remaining ingredients to the prepared baking dish. Stir to combine.
10.5 ounces canned beef consomme, 10.5 ounces canned French onion soup, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, 8 ounces canned sliced mushrooms, 1 tablespoon fresh chopped chives
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes or until the rice is tender. Remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of cooking time.

If the rice is not tender at the end of the baking time, return it to the oven and continue baking in 5-minute increments until fully cooked.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply microwave on high for 1-2 minutes or until heated through or in a 350-degree oven for 10-15 minutes.
To freeze, cool completely, then transfer to a freezer-safe container. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat before serving.
