→ Egg Roll Ingredients
10 -
6-8 wrappers for egg rolls
11 -
Oil for deep frying
12 -
1/2 cup chili sauce (sweet)
13 -
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat your grill to 350°F for cooking right away. Put a cold skillet on it and fry the bacon slices until they’re beautifully crispy, flipping them after 4-5 minutes. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Let them cool for 10 minutes before cutting them up.
02 -
In the still-hot skillet, cook the ground beef with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Keep cooking and stirring until no pink is visible, which should take 6-8 minutes. Move it into a bowl and let it chill in the fridge for around 15 minutes.
03 -
Grab a big mixing bowl. Combine the cool beef, crispy bacon, cream cheese, cheddar, jalapeños, and red onion. Stir until it’s all evenly mixed.
04 -
Take one egg roll wrapper at a time and add a nice scoop of the filling in the middle. Dip your fingers in water and moisten the edges, then roll it up tightly to seal. Heat up oil to a hot 400°F and fry each roll for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
05 -
Serve these piping hot egg rolls with some BBQ or sweet chili dipping sauce. You can even mix the two sauces together for something extra tasty.
