Crispy Beef and Cheese Spring Rolls: A Flavorful Snack

Spring rolls are a popular appetizer known for their crispy exterior and flavorful fillings. This recipe combines savory beef and melty cheese in a crunchy spring roll wrapper, making it a perfect snack or appetizer for any occasion. Here’s how to make these delicious beef and cheese spring rolls.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 20 spring roll wrappers
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
   • Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the beef. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent.
   • Stir in the soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
   • Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly. Stir in the shredded cheese.
2. Assemble the Spring Rolls:
   • Lay a spring roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you, forming a diamond shape.
   • Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef and cheese mixture near the bottom corner of the wrapper.
   • Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll up tightly, sealing the top corner with a dab of water.
3. Fry the Spring Rolls:
   • In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
   • Carefully add the spring rolls to the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
   • Remove the spring rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Serve the spring rolls warm with your choice of dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.

Tips for Success

• Tight Wrapping: Ensure the spring rolls are tightly wrapped to prevent them from opening during frying.
• Oil Temperature: Maintain the oil temperature to ensure even cooking and crispy results.
• Variations: Add vegetables like shredded carrots, cabbage, or bell peppers for added flavor and texture.
• Baking Option: For a healthier option, brush the spring rolls with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

These beef and cheese spring rolls are sure to be a hit at your next gathering, offering a satisfying crunch and savory filling that everyone will love. Enjoy this flavorful snack with your favorite dipping sauces!
