Ingredients

🧴 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
🥩 1 pound ground beef
🧂 1 teaspoon onion powder
🧄 1 teaspoon garlic powder
🌶️ 1 teaspoon Tony Chachere's seasoning
🧅 1 small onion, finely chopped
🥓 6 strips of bacon, cooked and chopped
🧀 2 cups shredded mixed cheese
📜 Egg roll wrappers (about 12)
💧 Water (for sealing)

Instructions

1- Prepare the Filling:

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, then season with onion powder, garlic powder, and Tony Chachere's seasoning. Cook until the beef is no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
Push the cooked beef to one side of the skillet and add the chopped onions to the other side. Cook until the onions are translucent.
In a separate pan, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove it from the pan, chop, and add it to the beef mixture.
Stir the shredded cheese into the beef, bacon, and onion mixture until the cheese is fully melted and the ingredients are well combined.

2- Assemble the Egg Rolls:

Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface.
In the center of the wrapper, place about 2 tablespoons of the cheeseburger filling.
Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly until fully sealed. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

3- Fry the Egg Rolls:

In a deep pan or fryer, heat the remaining vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully lower the egg rolls into the hot oil, a few at a time, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove them from the oil and place on paper towels to drain the excess oil.

4- Serve:

Serve the egg rolls hot with your choice of dipping sauce such as ranch, BBQ sauce, or sriracha mayo.
