A pinch of red pepper flakes for heat (optional)
Instructions:
1. Cook the Ground Beef Filling:
Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon. Once browned, drain any excess fat, leaving a small amount in the pan for flavor.
2. Add the Veggies and Seasonings:
To the cooked beef, add the diced onion and bell peppers (if using), and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Then, stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Next, season the mixture with soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ground cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed.
3. Add the Cheese:
Once the beef mixture is cooked and seasoned, remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the shredded cheese until it melts into the beef and creates a creamy, cheesy filling. Set this aside to cool for a few minutes before rolling.
4. Assemble the Egg Rolls:
Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, laying it flat with one corner pointing toward you, like a diamond shape. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the cheesy beef mixture into the center of the wrapper. Be careful not to overfill it, or the rolls may not seal properly.
To roll the egg roll, first, fold the bottom corner up over the filling. Then, fold in the two side corners toward the center. Finally, tightly roll the wrapper from the bottom to the top, sealing the edge with a dab of water.
Repeat the process with the remaining filling and wrappers. You should have around 10-12 egg rolls, depending on how much filling you use for each.
5. Fry the Egg Rolls:
Heat a generous amount of oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat (about 350°F/175°C). You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan so the egg rolls can fry evenly.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place a few egg rolls in the pan (don’t overcrowd the pan) and fry for 3-4 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to turn the egg rolls to ensure they cook evenly on all sides. Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
6. Prepare the Dipping Sauce (Optional):
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well and set aside for dipping.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
Once the egg rolls are crispy and golden, serve them hot with the optional dipping sauce on the side. These egg rolls pair wonderfully with a cold drink or a light salad for a perfect appetizer or snack.

Tips for Perfect Cheesy Beef Egg Rolls:
- Don’t overfill the egg rolls: If you stuff them too full, they may burst open during frying, and you’ll lose some of that delicious cheesy beef filling. Stick to 2-3 tablespoons per roll.
- Seal the edges tightly: To prevent the filling from spilling out while frying, ensure the edges are sealed properly. A small amount of water or beaten egg can help to create a better seal.
- Air fryer option: For a healthier alternative, you can air fry these egg rolls. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C), spray the egg rolls lightly with cooking spray, and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Freeze for later: These egg rolls freeze beautifully. After rolling them, place them on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze for 1-2 hours before transferring them to a freezer bag. To cook from frozen, fry them for a few extra minutes.
