americanized egg rolls

My dear friend Nancy helped me formulate this recipe right before my husband and I married in 1986. We dubbed it 'Americanized' because of the hamburger meat and because it doesn't contain a lot of green cabbage. This is a labor-intensive meal that we make on special occasions. A Criswell family favorite!

It takes a little while to assemble these egg rolls, but it's worth the time. We enjoyed this non-traditional egg roll recipe a lot. The fried shell is crispy and crunchy. Inside the egg roll is filled with squash, sweet carrots, and cabbage. Dip it in your favorite sauce and watch these disappear fast.
