Ingredients

3 cups cooked white rice
¼ cup cooked bacon crumbles
1 (10 ounce) package frozen broccoli in cheese sauce cooked in the microwave according to package instructions
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
2 cups bread crumbs
4 ounces cubed sharp cheddar cheese cut into 1/2 inch cubes
canola oil for frying
marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions

In a large bowl stir together 3 cups cooked white rice, ¼ cup cooked bacon crumbles, and 1 (10 ounce) package frozen broccoli in cheese sauce. Place in the fridge to chill enough to be able to handle.
Place 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3 large eggs, and 2 cups bread crumbs into three separate small bowls.
Once rice mixture is chilled, take a heaping tablespoon and add one 4 ounces cubed sharp cheddar cheese to the middle. Keeping the cheese in the middle, top with more rice to create a ball, approximately 2 inches in size. Press together firmly to make sure it holds its shape.
Dip into the flour and coat completely. Next coat in egg, using a fork to allow the excess to shake off, then add to the bread crumbs, coating completely. Lay on a plate and repeat with the rest of the rice.
Heat 3 inches of canola oil for frying in a large stockpot or dutch oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Once hot, cook the rice balls in batches until fully browned, approximately 1-2 minutes each. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
