Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 yellow onion finely chopped
  • 1/2 green bell pepper finely chopped
  • 12 slices American cheese
  • 24 egg roll wrappers
  • A small bowl of water for sealing wrappers
  • Canola oil for deep frying

Instructions
 

  • Cook the Ground Beef:
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, aiming to sear the beef before breaking it apart into pea-sized pieces for texture. Season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  • Sauté the Vegetables:
  • In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the chopped onions and green bell pepper. Sauté until well browned and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Combine the Filling:
  • Return the beef to the skillet with the caramelized onions and bell pepper. Mix thoroughly, then remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  • Prepare to Assemble:
  • Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a clean, flat surface. Place half a slice of American cheese in the center of each wrapper, then add approximately 3 tablespoons of the beef mixture on top.
  • Assemble the Egg Rolls:
  • To assemble, fold the bottom left corner of the wrapper over the filling. Fold in the sides and continue rolling tightly. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water to seal.
  • Fry the Egg Rolls:
  • Heat canola oil in a deep frying pan to about 350°F (175°C), ensuring it is about 1 inch deep. Fry 3-4 egg rolls at a time until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
  • Drain and Serve:
  • Remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain on a cooling rack or a brown paper bag to remove excess oil. Serve hot with dipping sauces like ketchup, spicy mayo, or cheese sauce.

Notes

For a healthier option, bake the egg rolls in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through. For variations, try using chicken or mushrooms, and experiment with different cheeses and dipping sauces.
