  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 12 egg rolls 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound smoked brisket (finely chopped up)
  • 8 oz of softened Philadelphia cream cheese
  • 1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup (4) freshly diced jalapenos (remove seeds and core)
  • 8 oz bacon
  • ¼ cup green onions
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 8 Egg roll wrappers
  • Oil for frying
  • Ranch dressing for dipping

Instructions

  1. Fry up bacon in a frying pan over medium low heat until crispy. Chop bacon into bite size pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the brisket, softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, diced jalapenos, chopped bacon, green onions, smoked paprika, onion powder and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until fully combined.

  7. Remove from oil then place on a wire rack with a pan underneath to allow the oil to drip off.
  8. Slice the egg rolls diagonally then serve them warm with ranch dressing for dipping.
