Egg Rolls!


I haven't added anything new recently because I had an issue with my computer but that is all fixed now!  So, my baby brother had a birthday yesterday and I usually try to fix everyone their favorite meal on their birthday so I fixed Egg Rolls and Chicken Vegetable Stir Fry.  Mmmmmmm  Mmm good!  We have some very special friends that taught us how to make Egg Rolls and so far it is the best I have ever had.  It can be time consuming but worth it!  I am sharing the recipe with you and I hope you enjoy them as much as we have!

Egg Rolls

2 lbs. Ground Beef- chopped fine
2 cups Carrotts- chopped fine
2 cans Water Chestnuts- chopped fine
1 bunch of green onions - chopped fine
2 Tblsp. Soy Sauce
1 Egg
Few dashes of garlic powder (or garlic salt depending on how much salt you have already added.)
2 packages Egg Roll wrappers (Spring Roll wrappers)

Brown ground beef.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Chop real fine (as fine as you can).  The baby carrotts work best, just wash first and chop fine.  (I use my food processor and it is done very quickly!).  I also use the food processor for the water chestnuts but not for the onion.  Chop the onion and use the green tops also by hand but very finely.  Add soy sauce and beaten egg. Roll about 2 to 3 Tablespoons of meat mixture in wrapper and seal with a dab of beaten egg.  Deep fry in oil and set platter covered with paper towels.  DO NOT COVER!!  They will get soggy!  Trust me....it is worth the trouble!!!  :0)
