Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls
Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls fill egg roll wrappers with a mixture of browned ground beef seasoned with Worcestershire sauce, caramelized onions, green bell pepper, and American cheese. The filling is carefully assembled to resemble the texture of steak pieces rather than crumbled meat. The egg rolls are folded tightly to enclose the filling and deep-fried in canola oil until golden brown and crisp, offering a portable, crispy variation on the classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich flavors.

Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 yellow onion , chopped
- 1/2 green bell pepper , chopped
- 12 lices American cheese
- 24 egg roll wrappers
- water small bowl
- canola oil , for frying
Instructions
- Start by browning the beef in the skillet.
- Note: Try to brown without breaking up the meat too much, get a nice brown sear on the beef, then break apart as little as possible. (You want the meat to resemble a pea in size, you want to avoid taco meat consistency).
- Add the salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce, stir gently and remove from pan.
- Add the butter in the pan and add the chopped onions and green bell pepper, cooking until browned and caramelized.
- Once browned, add the meat back in and combine together.
- Let the mixture cool while you prepare your egg roll wrappers and cheese.
- Lay them on a flat surface and place a half a slice of American cheese on the wrapper.
- Add three tablespoons of the meat mixture on top of the cheese.
- Starting from the bottom left pull corner over the meat, then fold the two sides in.
- Wet the edges and roll tightly.
- Set a pan to heat with canola oil, about an inch high would do the trick.
- Add 3-4 egg rolls in them at once.
- Once they have browned, take them out and dry them on a cooling rack or brown paper bag.

Notes
- Keep egg roll wrappers covered when not assembling to prevent drying out and tearing.
- Do not overcrowd the oil while frying; this prevents the temperature from dropping and keeps the egg rolls crispy.
- Avoid cooling cooked egg rolls on paper towels or napkins to prevent steam buildup and sogginess.
