Jalapeno Popper Egg Rolls (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Jalapeno Popper Mixture

01 - 1 block cream cheese
02 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
03 - 8 oz ground beef
04 - 6 slices bacon
05 - 1 medium jalapeño, diced
06 - 2 tablespoons diced red onion
07 - 2 teaspoons kosher salt
08 - 2 teaspoons black pepper
09 - 2 teaspoons garlic powder

→ Egg Roll Assembly

10 - 6-8 egg roll wrappers
11 - ½ cup BBQ sauce
12 - ½ cup sweet chili sauce
13 - Oil for frying

# Instructions:

01 - Fire up your grill to 350°F for direct cooking. Place a cold skillet on the grill and cook the bacon slices until they're perfectly crispy and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Let them cool for 10 minutes before chopping them up.
02 - In the same hot skillet, brown the ground beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder until there's no pink left, about 6-8 minutes, stirring often. Pop it in a bowl and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
03 - In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, cooled ground beef, chopped bacon, diced jalapeños, and red onions. Mix everything together until well combined.
04 - Lay out each egg roll wrapper and place a generous scoop of the jalapeño popper mixture in the center. Wet the edges with water, then roll and fold into egg rolls. Heat your frying oil to 400°F and fry the rolls for 1-2 minutes per side until they're golden brown and crispy.
05 - Serve these crispy rolls hot with BBQ sauce, sweet chili sauce, or mix both sauces together for an amazing dip.

# Notes:

01 - These fusion egg rolls combine the beloved flavors of jalapeño poppers with crispy Asian-style wrapping, creating an irresistible appetizer that's perfect for parties or game day.
