Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 package egg roll wrappers
Aromatics and Seasonings:
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Oil:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high temperature. Sauté diced onions and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until onions become translucent and aromatic.
- Introduce ground beef to the skillet. Crumble and cook meat thoroughly until completely browned, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Incorporate ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Blend ingredients uniformly to distribute seasonings evenly.
- Transfer beef mixture to a mixing bowl. Allow mixture to cool slightly, then gently fold in shredded cheddar cheese until well integrated.
- Position egg roll wrapper on clean surface. Moisten wrapper edges with water. Deposit beef and cheese filling centrally, then fold bottom corner over mixture.
- Carefully fold side corners inward, rolling wrapper tightly. Seal final edge with additional water to secure closure.
- Pour sufficient oil into a clean skillet, heating to medium-high. Delicately place prepared egg rolls into hot oil.
- Fry egg rolls for 2-3 minutes per side, rotating until exterior achieves golden-brown crispiness and uniform coloration.
- Extract egg rolls using slotted utensil, placing on paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately while warm and crisp.
Notes
- Customize Meat Selection swap ground beef with turkey or plant-based crumbles for a leaner or vegetarian option that maintains delicious flavor profiles.
- Cheese Variations experiment with different cheese types like pepper jack, blue cheese, or Swiss to create unique taste experiences and add personal flair to the classic recipe.
- Crispy Perfection ensure oil temperature stays consistent around 350°F for golden-brown exterior without absorbing excessive grease, using a thermometer for precise cooking.
- Dipping Sauce Magic create complementary sauces like sriracha mayo, spicy ketchup, or ranch to elevate the eggroll’s taste and provide exciting flavor dimensions for guests.
