These were a waste of time. They were bland and fell apart when I tried to fry them.

These were good, but not great. The flavor was a bit bland and the texture was a bit too mushy. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I've made these croquettes a few times now and they're always a hit! They're so easy to make and they're always crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. I love that I can use up leftover rice and bacon to make them.

These were so delicious! I made them for my family and they loved them. The cheesy bacon flavor was perfect, and the rice made them nice and filling. I will definitely be making these again!
