Key Ingredients for Crispy Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup shredded cheese (like provolone or mozzarella)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Egg roll wrappers
• Oil for frying

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary. Add diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

2. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you. Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef filling in the center. Top it with a little shredded cheese. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll it up tightly. Seal the edges with a little water.

3. Fry the Egg Rolls: In a pot or deep fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove them and drain on a paper towel.

4. Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy the deliciousness!

What to Serve Crispy Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls With:

To enhance the experience of these egg rolls, consider pairing them with a refreshing side salad to balance the richness, or some homemade guacamole for dipping. They also go wonderfully with a chilled beer or soda. And if you’re feeling especially adventurous, mix up a spicy dipping sauce using ranch dressing with a kick of hot sauce for an added layer of flavor!

Top Tips for Perfecting Crispy Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls:

1. Don’t Overstuff: Keep the filling to about 2 tablespoons per egg roll to ensure they fry evenly without bursting. Overfilling might lead to a messy fry!

2. Seal Well: Make sure the edges of your egg rolls are sealed tightly to prevent oil from seeping in while frying.

3. Experiment with Fillings: If you want to change things up, try adding mushrooms, jalapeños, or even cooked chicken for a different spin on the classic recipe.

Storing and Reheating Tips:

If you have any leftovers (which is rare because these disappear fast!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to retain their crispiness. You can also freeze uncooked egg rolls for later enjoyment! Just wrap them tightly and place them in a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready, fry them straight from the freezer—no thawing needed!

Now that you’re equipped with all the details, it’s time to roll up those sleeves and get cooking. You’ll soon be enjoying these Crispy Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls, and I can promise you, they won’t last long! Happy cooking!
