Creating French Onion Butter Rice is fun and easy! Follow these steps for a delightful dish:

1. Prepare the Onions: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the sliced onions, stirring frequently until they become soft and caramelized, about 10-12 minutes.

2. Add Garlic and Spices: Once the onions are golden brown, add the garlic powder and onion powder. Stir for an additional minute until fragrant.

3. Cook the Rice: Add the uncooked rice to the skillet with the onions. Stir to combine and toast the rice for about 2 minutes.

4. Add Broth: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil.

5. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

6. Fluff and Finish: Remove from heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. Fluff the rice with a fork.

7. Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
