That same passion connects perfectly to the restaurants Standard Heating proudly supports during Mpls.St.Paul Magazine’s Restaurant Weeks.

Dylan’s Cheeseburger Egg Rolls
Cook time: 50 minutes
Makes: 24 egg rolls
Ingredients
-
24 egg roll wrappers
-
¼ lb. bacon, diced
-
½ medium white onion, diced
-
1 lb. ground beef
-
½ tsp. salt
-
½ tsp. pepper
-
¼ tsp. dry ground mustard
-
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
-
¼ cup diced pickles or relish
-
Vegetable oil, for frying
Directions
-
Separate the egg roll wrappers and lay them out on parchment paper. Set aside.
-
In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the diced bacon for 15–20 minutes until cooked through and slightly crunchy. Remove bacon from the pan and set aside.
-
In the same pan, add the diced onion and cook until translucent (about 4 minutes). Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 45 seconds.
-
Add ground beef, salt, pepper, and ground mustard. Cook until no longer pink, breaking up the meat as it cooks (about 10 minutes). Drain excess liquid.
-
Stir in the cooked bacon, shredded cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and pickles or relish. Cook for 3–5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and fully incorporated.
-
Spoon the meat mixture evenly onto the egg roll wrappers and wrap tightly to seal.
-
Heat vegetable oil to 350°. Fry the egg rolls for 1–2 minutes per side, turning with tongs, until golden brown.
-
Remove from oil and place on paper towels or a drying rack to cool slightly.
-
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
