Bacon Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings 12 servings

Equipment

  • Frying Pan
  • Medium sized bowl
  • Spoon
  • Measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds ground meat beef, turkey or chicken
  • 3-4 slices of bacon
  • ½ sweet onion diced
  • 1 cup cheese
  • 1-2 garlic coves minced
  • 1 tsp all purpose seasoning
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp garlic power
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp white pepper
  • 3 tbsp ketchup optional
  • 3 tbsp BBQ sauce optional

Instructions
 

  • Heat your skillet over medium high, once hot, add the bacon.
  • Cook bacon on both sides for about 3 mins (or until desired crispiness)
  • Remove bacon and let drain on paper towel
  • Add diced onion and garlic to the bacon grease
  • Sautee until onions are translucent (about 3-4 mins), constantly stirring so the garlic doesn’t burn.
  • Remove from pan and set to the side.
  • Add in the ground meat and cook until browned.
  • Drain meat if you need too and return to the skillet.
  • Add in the onions and garlic, plus all of the dry seasonings.
  • Stir to incorporate.
  • Remove from heat and add in ketchup and bbq sauce if you’d like at this point.
  • Chop up the bacon and shred the cheese.
  • Transfer meat mixture to a bowl, clean the frying pan, fill half way with vegetable oil and begin to preheat it on medium.
  • Prepare area for rolling the egg rolls
  • To make the eggrolls:
  • Place meat filling diagonally on wrap. Add cheese and bacon crumbles.
  • Then fold the bottom corner over the filling.
  • Roll snuggly halfway to cover filling and fold in both sides snuggly against filling.
  • Use water to moisten the edges of the flap.
  • Roll wrapper up and seal top corner and lay flat side down until ready to cook.
  • Once the eggrolls are all rolled, the oil should be hot enough. Fry on each side for 2-3 mins. As soon as the edges are golden, flip them over. Drain on paper towels
  • Serve with dipping sauces and enjoy!

Notes

Optional add-ins: dry ground mustard, dry mango seasoning, adobo, cayenne or red pepper flakes for heat. The ketchup and bbq sauce are optional but it does help make the meat mixture a little saucy.
For parties or appetizers, I would do thinner eggrolls using only one egg roll wrapper. For dinner or a meal, I would make them a little thicker and wrap them in two wrappers.
