Ingredients
| Component | Item | Note |
| The Protein | Ground Beef or Shaved Steak | Cooked until perfectly browned and seasoned. |
| The Aromatics | Onions and Green Peppers | Sautéed until soft and caramelized for that classic flavor. |
| The Gooey Center | Provolone or American Cheese | Use plenty to ensure that “next-level” cheesiness. |
| The Shell | Egg Roll Wrappers | Found in the refrigerated section of most groceries. |
| The Secret Sauce | Mayonnaise | A touch of mayo in the filling keeps the meat incredibly juicy. |
Instructions
1. Sauté the Filling
In a large skillet, brown your ground beef or steak until fully cooked. Add your diced onions and peppers, cooking until they are tender and the flavors have melded.
2. Make it Creamy
Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in a small amount of mayonnaise and your shredded cheese. Mix until the cheese is just beginning to melt into the warm beef and vegetables.
3. Wrap Them Up
Lay an egg roll wrapper flat. Place a generous spoonful of the cheesy beef mixture in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly toward the top corner. Use a dab of water on the final corner to seal it shut.
4. Fry to Golden Perfection
Heat about an inch of oil in a heavy pan to 350°F. Carefully fry the egg rolls for 3–5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are deep golden brown and crispy on all sides.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Drain on paper towels for one minute to maintain the crunch. Serve hot with a side of zesty ranch or a spicy cheese sauce for the ultimate experience.
Pro-Tips for Success
- Drain the Fat: Make sure to drain any excess grease from the beef before adding the cheese to prevent the egg rolls from becoming soggy.
- Don’t Overfill: Too much filling can cause the wrappers to burst during frying.
- Air Fryer Option: For a lighter version, spray with oil and air fry at 400°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
