Unstuffed Egg Roll Bowls

All the blessings of a delicious egg roll, but eaten in a bowl!  This mixture is addicting folks.

You know how Chipotle has their taco or burrito bowls?  Heck, I've even made my own version here. It simply gives you all the fixings of a taco without the tortilla.

Same concept with this recipe.

I treated my family to homemade egg rolls a few nights back and as usual I had extra filling leftover {I can never judge those things right!}.  Anyway, instead of running to the store for another package of egg roll wrappers, I decided to wing it and serve the rest over rice.

Best.  Idea.  Ever.

When the husband started stealing fresh egg rolls off the counter before I was ready to serve I wasn't even mad! Because I had secret leftover filling to eat ALL BY MYSELF.  Okay, I let them have some too, but I made this my main meal.

I kind of played it off like, "oh, you guys go ahead and have more, I'll just eat the leftover filling, I'm not that hungry anyway".  They fell for it hook, line and sinker.

The flavor will definitely rival any of your favorite Chinese restaurant joints, hands down. And the best part of making homemade egg rolls, or just eating the filling, is that it's easy!  I understand to many it may seem daunting or difficult, but trust me when I tell you it's not. In fact, making the filling is a one-pot meal.

There was even some leftover for lunch the next day and you better believe I jumped all over that before anyone could catch me.  

Now, I always, always, always use ground pork in my egg rolls.  It's the traditional way {I think} and to me it just tastes right.  You can certainly substitute ground beef, shredded chicken or omit meat all together and throw in some more veggies.  I'm pretty sure I'd eat it any one of those ways.

So, coming up.  Here is what is on tap!  Strawberry Upside-Down Cake {your local angels will be singing}, a fun, new Blue Bunny ice cream product review and giveaway and another {much requested!} 2-Week Meal Plan.  This one will feature prices and be very budget friendly.  You don't want to miss it.
