How to Make Bacon Cheeseburger Egg Rolls
- Cook 4 slices bacon until crispy. Remove from pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Crumble bacon once cooled.
- In the same skillet, brown 1 pound of ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in the crumbled bacon.
- In a small bowl, whisk 1 large egg.
- Lay out an egg roll wrapper (approximately 8-inch square). Place 2-3 tablespoons of the ground beef mixture in the center of the wrapper.
- Top with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese (about 1 teaspoon) and Monterey Jack cheese (about 1 teaspoon).
- Brush the edges of the wrapper with the beaten egg.
- Fold in the sides of the wrapper, then tightly roll up from the bottom to the top, tucking in the edges to seal.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the egg rolls and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately with your favorite barbecue sauce for dipping.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
