Ingredients

1
1/2 lbs. ground beef (85/15)
8
Egg roll wrappers (usually found in the produce section by the tofu)
2
cups pimento cheese (Fresh Market was used for the winning recipe)
1
medium sweet onion diced
4
garlic cloves chopped fine
2
Tablespoons steak seasoning (Lawry’s)
6
oz. Bronco Bob’s Raspberry Chipotle Sauce
1
½ cups canola or peanut oil
Salt & Pepper

Directions

In a 10 inch cast iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil and sauté the onions and garlic for 5-8 minutes.  Remove garlic & onions and add the ground beef.  (All on medium heat depending on your cook top)

Brown the ground beef in the skillet and then drain the excess fat in a colander.

Combine the cooked ground beef, onions, garlic and Lawry’s in a mixing bowl.  Salt & pepper to taste.

Lay your Egg roll wrappers on a cutting board with a point facing you –  put about 4 ounces of the beef mixture ,1 tsp. of the pimento cheese, & 1 tsp. of the Raspberry Chipotle sauce on the bottom 3rd of the egg roll wrapper.

Wet the edges of the egg roll with water and roll the wrapper, tucking in the edges.

Add the remaining oil to the cast iron skillet and heat to 400 degrees (use a thermometer).

Gently lay 2 rolls at a time in the hot oil and cook approximately 45 seconds on each side.

Brush with the Raspberry Chipotle sauce on the cooked egg roll and allow to cool on paper towels for a couple of minutes.

Serve and enjoy!

2 Burger rolls per serving.
