Beef and Cheese Egg Rolls
Introduction
Beef and cheese egg rolls are a delicious and satisfying appetizer or snack. They combine the crispy texture of an egg roll wrapper with the savory flavors of beef and cheese. These are perfect for parties, game days, or a quick and easy weeknight meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (16 ounce) package of egg roll wrappers
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions:
- Cook the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain any excess grease.
- Add the vegetables and seasonings: Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the egg rolls: Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of the wrapper and top with some shredded cheese.
- Seal the egg rolls: Fold the bottom of the wrapper up over the filling, then fold in the sides. Brush the top edge with water and roll up tightly.
- Fry the egg rolls: Heat oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve: Drain the egg rolls on paper towels and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce or marinara sauce.
Tips:
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the beef mixture.
- You can use any type of ground meat you prefer, such as turkey or chicken.
- To make these egg rolls ahead of time, assemble them and freeze them on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. When ready to cook, thaw them slightly and fry as directed.
- Serve with a side of your favorite vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
