Macaroni & Cheese Egg Rolls, Spaghetti & Meatball Egg Rolls, Stuffing & Cranberry Egg Rolls, Chili Egg Rolls

Yeah. The weirdest dinner I ever ate.

Watching The Neely's cooking BBQ Pork Egg Rolls on The Food Network the other day caused my brain to scatter with visions of different variations of egg rolls. What other fillings would work? With no set menu in mind, my sister and I dashed to the grocery store, wandering through the aisles, searching each shelf for an item to grab our attention.

The vegetable and side dish aisle piqued our interest, containing multiple possibilities for this endeavor. "Would Stroganoff work?" Michele shouted. "How about egg and bacon scrambles?" I yell back. Too many ideas filled our heads, causing an unneeded, time-consuming, could-have-been-cleaning-out-our-backyard-but-instead-decided-to-make-a-random-dinner-including-egg-rolls trip to the market. We decided to make four versions of this treat, including mac and cheese, chili, stuffing and cranberry and spaghetti and meatballs.

Some worked and some didn't. The spaghetti and meatballs was tasty but did not work. If you decide to create this, I suggest wrapping the mixture in two egg roll wrappers, rather than one, so the filling will stay put. The chili also almost popped open in the oven, so I suggest that you experiment with the filling to wrapper ratio. The mac and cheese and the stuffing and cranberry egg rolls were the winners in this random egg roll dinner challenge. The filling was thick enough not to seep out of the sides, creating a hearty bite throughout.
