Pizza Eggrolls & Variations

The kids loved the pizza eggrolls we made tonight for dinner.

We just wrapped pepperoni, pizza sauce, and mozarella in an eggroll wrapper and fried them until they were browned on both sides.

My favorite was a spur of the moment creation determined by what was in the refrigerator - cream cheese, sauteed onions, broccoli, and bacon! So delicious! I think spinach would be fabulous in this instead of the broccoli too.


The dud for this experiment was the Peanut butter and bacon filling. Too strong. However...it would be excellent as a schmear with grilled chicken!!! (1/4 c. chunky pb, 2 tsp dried minced onion, 2 slices crumbled bacon, 2 tsp. Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce) Think Thai...peanut sauce. YUM!

For dessert we did a few peanut butter, jelly, and banana eggrolls! Next time I'm trying caramel and apple, fried and then rolled in cinnamon sugar!

These can be frozen and reheated too. Wouldn't the kids love to take a pizza eggroll to school in their lunch!

Eggrolls
1 package egg roll wrappers
1 lb sausage, browned and crumbled
1 lb bean sprouts
1 head cabbage, shredded
1 onion, diced
1 1b mushrooms, chopped
2 or 3 carrots, grated
2 or 3 stalks celery, chopped
other veggies you want to add - squash, zucchini, sugar snap peas, etc.

Brown, crumble, and drain sausage and set aside. Saute veggies in 1/4 cup vegetable oil until wilted and reduced (most water out). Mix sausage into veggies. Spoon a couple of tablespoons of filling into egg roll wrapper, touch all edges with water, roll up like a little burrito. Make a couple of dozen of these little babies and pop them into really hot oil for a minute or so. Drain on paper towels. Serve with Sweet & Sour Sauce.

Grandma's Cheese Sandwiches
1 lb. Sharp Cheddar Cheese (grated)
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 small jar pimentos (diced, peeled, drained)

Melt Cheese & Milk in double boiler, add pimentos, spread on 1 loaf white bread, chill (I just do the whole loaf, then slip the bag back over the stack and chill them in the original bread bag). Cut off crusts & triangle to serve.

(Also looks cool as ribbon sandwiches - wheat bread, cheese, white bread, cheese, wheat bread, cheese, white bread ; cut off crusts then slice into 1/2 wide ribbon sandwiches) Other abberations that I've tried and loved - green chiles and minced onion instead of, or with the pimento or else a heaping table spoon of diced jalepeno instead of or with the pimento!)

I have to admit that I've been craving these sandwiches. I've been making them for our Christmas Eve party at Mom's for several years, and we had pizza instead this year...finally made them yesterday. Love them!
