Microwave 2 cups of water, the butter, and the bouillon for 2 minutes.
Whisk the broth mixture to fully melt the butter. Add the salt and garlic powder to the hot water and mix well again.
Add the seasoned broth mixture to a 9-inch square pan or a 3-quart casserole dish. Add an additional 2 cups of water as well as the rice. Stir well to distribute the rice evenly.
Cover the pan or casserole dish with foil tightly. Bake for 55 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the rice to sit for 5 minutes. Remove the foil and fluff the rice. Transfer the rice to a serving dish or serve it directly form the pan.
