Baked Tasty Rice was my grandma's specialty and always a favorite of anyone who tried it. It's so easy - and really is amazingly tasty - that it may become your family's favorite, too. Both oven and Instant Pot directions are included.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon organic bullion the original recipe always used beef, but chicken works well, too
3 tablespoons butter cut into three pieces
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1 cup long grain white rice *see notes for adapting to brown rice
2 cups chicken or beef broth or water, but broth gives more flavor

Instructions

Place the bullion, butter, marjoram, rice, and broth (or water) in a 2-qt. baking dish, preferably one with a cover. Do not stir or mix. (See Notes for Instant Pot directions.)
Place in the oven, covered with lid or tin foil, at 350 degrees for one hour.
Stir before serving.

Notes

*I often make it with brown rice - either short or long - though it usually needs an extra 15-30 minutes of cooking time in the oven.

To Make in an Instant Pot with Brown Rice:

Add all the ingredients to the IP liner.
Choose Manual and adjust to 28 minutes.
Do a quick release, stir and enjoy your brown tasty rice in little more than 1/2 hour instead of one and a half hours.
Note: I don't like the texture as well as the oven version, but it's an option for a quicker dish.

To Make in an Instant Pot with White Rice:

Add all the ingredients to the IP liner.
Choose Manual and adjust to 4-8 minutes (less for Jasmine, more for Basmati).
Let release naturally for 10 minutes and then do a quick release. Stir and enjoy.
