Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked pulled pork (sauced or dry-rubbed, both work)
• 1 cup macaroni and cheese (leftovers or freshly made)
• 8 egg roll wrappers
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• 🔁 Ingredient Tips & Swaps:
• Pulled pork: Store-bought BBQ pork works great, or use your own smoked or slow-cooked version.
• Mac & cheese: Boxed, homemade, or deli mac all work—just avoid versions that are too runny.
• Egg roll wrappers: Found in most produce sections—don’t substitute with spring roll wrappers, which are thinner.
• Add-ins: Want a twist? Stir in jalapeños, green onions, or a little sharp cheddar.
• 👨‍🍳 Instructions:
• 1️⃣ Heat the Oil:
• 2️⃣ Combine the Filling:
• 3️⃣ Roll the Egg Rolls:
• Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface in a diamond shape.
• Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling near the center.
• Fold the bottom corner up and over the filling, then fold in the sides.
• Roll tightly and seal the edge with a dab of water.
• 4️⃣ Fry to Golden Perfection:

• Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• 5️⃣ Serve Hot:
• 🔥 Tips for Success:
