Cook 6 slices bacon in a 12" skillet over medium high heat until well browned and crisp, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towel using a slotted spoon. Pour off all but 2 Tablespoons of bacon grease.
Reduce heat to medium and cook the minced onions in the remaining bacon grease until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the drained sauerkraut and cook, stirring often until heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in 4 cups day old or cold cooked rice, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper until incorporated. Cook until rice is heated through, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Stir in the bacon. Season with additional salt and pepper as desired.
