Overview:

These Philly Cheesesteak Eggrolls bring all the flavor of a classic Philly cheesesteak, but in a lighter, healthier format. Using lean beef and a baked eggroll wrapper instead of fried, you get the perfect crispy exterior and cheesy, flavorful filling without the added guilt. These eggrolls make a great appetizer, snack, or even a fun main dish when paired with a salad or veggies.

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz lean ground beef (90% lean or higher)
  • 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded provolone cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 8 eggroll wrappers (try whole wheat for an even healthier option)
  • Cooking spray (for baking)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional, for extra flavor)

Directions:

  1. Cook the filling: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once browned, drain any excess fat.
  2. Add the vegetables: To the beef, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies soften.
  3. Season: Stir in garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and Worcestershire sauce if using. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. Assemble the eggrolls: Lay out the eggroll wrappers on a clean surface. Spoon a small amount of the beef and veggie mixture into the center of each wrapper, and top with a pinch of shredded provolone cheese. Be careful not to overfill.
  5. Roll the eggrolls: Fold in the sides of the eggroll wrapper and then roll it up tightly, sealing the edges with a little water.
  6. Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the eggrolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray for a crispier finish. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggrolls are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
  7. Serve: Once done, let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Pair with a low-calorie dipping sauce (like mustard or a light ranch) if desired.

Tips:

  • Vegetarian Option: Swap the lean beef for a plant-based ground “beef” for a vegetarian version.
  • Cheese Swap: You can use part-skim mozzarella or a reduced-fat cheese blend if you prefer a lighter cheese option.
  • Add more veggies: Feel free to add extra mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini for more nutrients and fiber, keeping the points low!
