Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls

I absolutely love egg rolls, and I wanted to create something unique and delectable with them. Yesterday, I made these delicious Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls, and my family devoured them! They’re ideal for a game day party (football season is just around the corner) or a fall patio party. Who needs a summer patio party when you can have one in the fall with a bonfire and marshmallows? These beauties come together quickly, and the filling can be made ahead of time.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
• 24 egg roll wrappers
• 12 slices American cheese
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the ground beef, breaking it apart as little as possible, until browned and still the size of peas, about 5 to 7 minutes.
2. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the beef. Stir gently and remove the mixture from the pan.
3. Melt butter in the same skillet. Add chopped onion and bell pepper; cook and stir until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
4. Return the beef mixture to the skillet and stir to combine. Let the filling cool while preparing the wrappers.
5. Lay the egg roll wrappers on a flat surface. Place 1/2 a slice of American cheese onto each wrapper. Add 3 tablespoons of the filling on top of each egg roll.
6. Pull the bottom left corner over the filling and fold the two sides in, moistening the edges with water as you go; roll tightly.
7. Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 3 to 4 egg rolls at a time and fry until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat with the remaining egg rolls.

Tips for the Best Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls

• Steak: Ribeye or flank steak can also be used, or even ground hamburger. Cut your steak into bite-sized pieces for easier eating and filling.
• Cheese: Swap out the Monterey Jack with provolone slices, Swiss, or spice it up with pepper jack cheese.
• Peppers and Onions: Use red, yellow, or orange peppers for a pop of color, or try using a red onion. Chop them into bite-sized pieces for easier eating.
• Wrappers: Don’t be nervous about folding your egg rolls. There are usually directions on the back of the package. Make sure you use a bit of water on the edges to seal them well.
• Sauce: These are ideal for dipping. The possibilities are endless. Try your favorite cheese sauce, Ranch dressing, horseradish sauce, or BBQ sauce.
