Bacon Rice Stuffing image

This is one of my favorite recipes for stuffing. It's especially good served with Cornish Game Hens. I've made this stuffing for years but I don't remember where the recipe came from. There's no name on my recipe card! The recipe calls for white rice but I'm sure there's no reason you couldn't use wild rice or brown rice if you want to.
