  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fritters:

   • In a bowl, mix all the fritter ingredients together.
   • Instead of frying, shape them into small patties and set aside.

2. Prepare the Rice Mixture:

   • Add uncooked rice, chicken broth, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.

3. Add the Fritters:

   • Place the uncooked fritters on top of the rice mixture. They will cook along with the rice.

4. Slow Cook:

   • Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until the rice is tender and the fritters are fully cooked.

5. Add Cheese & Finish:

   • Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese on top and cover for an additional 10–15 minutes until the cheese melts.

6. Serve & Enjoy:

   • Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions and serve hot.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, add ½ cup diced bell peppers or mushrooms to the rice.
• For a crispy top, transfer to a baking dish, add cheese, and broil for 2–3 minutes.
• For a creamy texture, stir in ½ cup sour cream at the end.
