Description
Prepare to embark on a flavor adventure with the Mac and Cheese Chicken Bacon Ranch Egg Roll! This mouthwatering creation marries the comfort of creamy mac and cheese, the richness of shredded chicken, the smoky goodness of crisp bacon, and the tangy delight of ranch dressing – all wrapped up in a perfectly crispy egg roll wrapper.
Ingredients
- 2 cup cooked macaroni
- 1 cup shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix everything together until the filling is well-combined and evenly distributed.
2. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Place 2-3 tablespoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll the wrapper tightly to seal. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F. Carefully add the prepared egg rolls to the hot oil, frying them in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown and crispy. Remove the fried egg rolls from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
4. Allow the Mac and Cheese Chicken Bacon Ranch Egg Rolls to cool slightly before serving. These delicious bites are best enjoyed warm, dipped in additional ranch dressing for the ultimate flavor experience.
Notes
To ensure your egg rolls turn out perfectly crispy and delicious, here are a few helpful tips:
Don’t overcrowd the skillet when frying the egg rolls. Fry them in small batches to maintain the ideal oil temperature and achieve a golden-brown, crispy exterior.
After frying, place the egg rolls on a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet to allow any excess oil to drain off, keeping them crisp and not greasy.
If you have leftover egg rolls, you can reheat them in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes or until heated through and crispy.
