Ingredients

  • 8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 4 Jalapeños, seeded and finely diced
  • 8 ounces cream  cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Procedure

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked and crumbled bacon, diced jalapeños, softened cream  cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Assemble the Eggrolls: Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the bacon jalapeño popper mixture onto the wrapper. Fold in the sides of the wrapper and then roll it up tightly, using a little water on the edges to seal the egg roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  3. Heat the Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (180°C).
  4. Fry the Eggrolls: Fry the egg rolls in batches for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Make sure not to overcrowd the fryer.
  5. Drain and Serve: Remove the egg rolls with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve the bacon jalapeño popper egg rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or sweet chili sauce.
