Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef

Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the onions, cooking until softened. Remove from heat.

Notes
For best results, ensure the filling is cooled before assembling the egg rolls to prevent soggy wrappers. You can also freeze uncooked egg rolls for later use, making them a convenient option for quick meals.
