Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Tongs
  • Deep fryer or large pot for frying
  • Baking sheet (if baking)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef or thinly sliced steak
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 small green bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • Oil for frying vegetable or canola
  • 1 large egg beaten (for sealing the wrappers)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Filling:
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the ground beef or steak until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
  • Add the onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 4–5 minutes, or until softened.
  • Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • Let the mixture cool slightly before stirring in the shredded cheese until melted and combined.
  • Assemble the Egg Rolls:
  • Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond).
  • Place 2–3 tablespoons of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
  • Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly. Roll upward to seal. Use the beaten egg to seal the final edge. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  • Fry the Egg Rolls:
  • Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
  • Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, for 2–3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with tongs and place on paper towels to drain.
  • Alternative Baking Method:
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Brush them lightly with oil and bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.

Notes

Cheese Options: Use your favorite cheese like American, cheddar, or Swiss for a different flavor.
Vegetarian Option: Swap the beef for sautéed mushrooms or a meat substitute.
Freeze for Later: Assemble the egg rolls and freeze them before cooking. Fry or bake straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
