These are nicely crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I only had one package of bacon bits to work with, which was okay. I would have preferred two packages, and Mike agreed. He thought they were great; his single request was to make 'em with "more bacon" next time. :-)
This recipe could easily be adapted to make Bacon Cheeseburger Rice Balls by adding ground beef and shredded cheddar cheese. Yum-o-licious!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups leftover white rice, room temperature (from Chinese food order)
- 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1-2 packages real bacon bits

- Marinara sauce (optional)
- 0% Greek yogurt (optional)
Directions

- Spritz balls with olive oil spray.
