Bacon Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

Instructions:

1. Cook the Bacon:
   • In a large skillet, fry the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
2. Sauté Aromatics:
   • In the same skillet (with bacon grease), sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until the onions are translucent.
3. Brown the Beef:
   • Add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper.
   • Cook until no longer pink, then drain excess fat.
4. Combine Filling:
   • Chop the cooked bacon into small pieces and mix into the beef.
   • Stir in the pickles and shredded cheese until well combined.
5. Prepare Wrappers:
   • In a small bowl, mix the cold water and cornstarch to create a sealing paste.
   • Lay out an egg roll wrapper with a corner facing you. Brush the edges with the cornstarch mixture.
   • Place about 3 tbsp of filling near the bottom corner, leaving ½ inch from the sides.
6. Roll the Egg Rolls:
   • Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides.
   • Roll tightly, sealing the top corner with more cornstarch paste. Repeat until all filling is used.
7. Fry to Crispy Perfection:
   • Heat about ½ inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
   • Once hot, carefully add egg rolls in batches, frying until golden brown on all sides (about 2–3 minutes per side).
   • Transfer to a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
8. Serve & Enjoy:
   • Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce (try mixing ketchup, mayo, and pickle relish for a “Big Mac” style sauce).

Crispy, cheesy, and packed with bacon cheeseburger flavor—these egg rolls are a game-changer! 🍔🔥
