Preheat your oven to 400F and move the rack to the middle position.
To an 8x8 baking dish, add the rice, beef broth, French onion soup, and garlic powder. Give it a stir, then top with the butter.
Cover it tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Take the foil off and continue baking, uncovered, for 30 minutes more.
Fluff the rice with a fork, top with chives if using, and enjoy!
