French Onion Soup Rice -Instant Pot Pressure Cooker or Stove Top

I needed a starchy side dish for Sunday dinner and decided rice sounded good, and since I always have dry onion soup mix in the closet... Wa-la! We all really enjoyed this French Onion Soup Rice, the soup mix added that nice caramelized onion flavor you'd expect. I used my ♥Instant Pot Pressure Cooker♥, but you could also make this on the stove top. It's super easy, nice and flavorful, and I will be keeping this idea handy going forward:@)

Between Aldi, Walmart and Dollar Tree, I can always find a two envelope box of soup for 69¢ to $1.
