Egg Rolls

Sydney had these a couple of years ago in Activity Days and loves them. They are really good, but we only have them every once in a while because we don't eat a lot of fried food. We have also tried them with shredded chicken, but like the beef ones the best.

1 lb. ground pork or beef

1/4 C. carrots, chopped finely

1/4 C. chopped celery

2 T. garlic, minced

1 egg, slightly beaten

3 T. chopped onion

1 T. soy sauce

1 t. sugar

1/2 t. salt

pinch of pepper

oil for frying

egg roll wrappers

Combine all ingredients in saucepan. Cook for a few minutes on medium, just until egg is cooked. Wrap in egg roll wrappers. Fry in hot oil until golden brown. Serve with Sweet and Sour Sauce (recipe below).

Sweet and Sour Sauce

1/2 t. salt

2/3 C. water

2 t. soy sauce

1/4 C. sugar

1/4 C. vinegar

2 T. cornstarch dispersed in 1/3 C. water

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and let cook over medium heat until thick. Serve with egg rolls.

Brown Sugar Beef Enchiladas

These are super yummy and easy enchiladas!  They are one of our favorite meals!  Because it is just the two of us I usually end up with extra meat filling that I freeze and save for later.  The meat is also good on top of Fritos with some lettuce and other toppings, like a taco salad only with Fritos.  So basically I get two meals out of one dish and Brad LOVES both of them, which makes me very happy!
