Ingredients (per serving):

- 1 egg roll wrapper
- 1/4 cup Sloppy Joe mixture (see recipe below)
- 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon diced onions
- 1 tablespoon diced green peppers
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Sloppy Joe Mixture:

- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure to drain any excess grease from the ground beef before adding the Sloppy Joe mixture.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove any excess liquid from the Sloppy Joe mixture before filling the egg rolls.
- Seal the egg rolls tightly to prevent any filling from leaking out during frying.

Cooking Process:

1. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned. Drain any excess grease.
2. Add the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.
3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens.
4. Remove the Sloppy Joe mixture from the skillet and let it cool.
5. To assemble the egg rolls, place an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface. Add 1/4 cup of the Sloppy Joe mixture to the center of the wrapper.
6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese, diced onions, and diced green peppers on top of the Sloppy Joe mixture.
7. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll the wrapper tightly to seal the egg roll.
8. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the egg rolls for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
10. Serve the Sloppy Joe Egg Rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
