Crispy Golden Brown Rolls (Printer-Friendly)

Golden brown rolls packed with beef, cheddar, and fresh vegetables with a spicy Southern twist.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Filling

01 - 1 pound ground beef
02 - 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
03 - 1/2 cup chopped green onions
04 - 1/2 cup shredded carrots
05 - 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
06 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder

→ Wrappers and Oil

07 - 10 to 12 egg roll wrappers
08 - Vegetable oil for frying

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until fully browned with no pink remaining. Drain excess grease carefully.
02 - Add Cajun seasoning and garlic powder to the cooked beef, stirring well to coat evenly. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, blend the seasoned beef with shredded cheddar, green onions, and shredded carrots until uniformly combined.
04 - Place one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a diamond orientation, corner pointing toward you.
05 - Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of filling near the center but closer to the bottom corner of the wrapper.
06 - Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold both side corners tightly inward, then roll the wrapper upward to form a tight cylinder.
07 - Apply a dab of water along the top corner to seal the edge securely and prevent opening during frying.
08 - Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet to approximately 2 inches depth and heat to 350°F (175°C), using a thermometer for accuracy.
09 - Fry egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until wrappers are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes.
10 - Remove egg rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with desired dipping sauce.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - Avoid overfilling the wrappers to prevent bursting during frying.
02 - Assembly can be done ahead; freeze uncooked for up to 3 months and fry directly from frozen.
03 - Ensure oil temperature is maintained to avoid greasy or burnt rolls.
04 - Let filling cool slightly before wrapping to maintain wrapper integrity.
