• Swap ground beef for ground chicken or turkey for a lighter version.
• Add diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the filling for a spicier kick.

Storage

Store any leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

FAQs

Can I bake these egg rolls instead of frying?

Yes, you can bake them at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are crispy and golden.

Make sure not to overfill the wrappers and seal the edges well with water. Fry at the correct oil temperature (around 350°F) to cook them evenly without bursting.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Filling

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
• 1/2 cup shredded carrots
• 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Wrapper & Frying

• 10 to 12 egg roll wrappers
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

1. Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it turns brown and there is no pink left. Drain the excess grease to keep the filling from being greasy.
2. Season the Beef: Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning and garlic powder over the cooked beef. Stir well to evenly coat the meat with the spices and allow it to cool slightly for easier handling.
3. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the seasoned beef with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, and shredded carrots. Mix thoroughly to blend all the flavors.
4. Prepare the Wrapper: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface with a diamond shape facing you.
5. Add the Filling: Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the beef mixture near the center of the wrapper.
6. Fold the Egg Roll: Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in both sides tightly, and roll the wrapper up firmly to encase the filling.
7. Seal the Edge: Dab a little water on the top edge of the wrapper to seal your egg roll tightly, preventing it from opening during frying.
8. Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet and heat it to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it’s hot enough to crisp the egg rolls.
9. Fry the Egg Rolls: Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally to brown evenly on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
10. Drain and Serve: Remove the cooked egg rolls and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

• Ensure the oil temperature is stable at 350°F to avoid greasy or undercooked egg rolls.
• Do not overfill the wrappers to prevent tearing during rolling or frying.
• Use a large enough skillet to avoid overcrowding the egg rolls while frying for even cooking.
• For a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the filling mix.
• Leftover cooked beef filling can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
