# How to Make It:
01 -
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped beef meatballs, marinara sauce, and shredded mozzarella cheese until evenly mixed.

Position an egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface with one corner facing you like a diamond.
03 -
Place approximately 2 tablespoons of the meatball mixture in the center of the wrapper.
04 -
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in both sides, rolling up tightly. Brush the top corner lightly with olive oil to seal.
05 -
Continue filling, folding, and sealing each wrapper until all filling is used.
06 -
Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or pot to a depth of about 2 inches and heat to 350°F (175°C).
07 -
Fry the egg rolls in batches of 2 to 3, turning as needed, for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
08 -
Transfer the fried egg rolls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Serve immediately with extra marinara sauce for dipping. Garnish with Parmesan or Italian seasoning if desired.
# Extra Suggestions:

Ensure the oil is properly heated before frying for even crispness and to prevent oil absorption.
