This recipe was so great! My Dh and son loved it so much. I did not think this was a time consuming recipe. It was easy to make and my 3 year old even helped me stuff the egg rolls, he thought that was great. We served them with sour cream guacamole and some mexican rice and they were alomost all eaten up!Next time i will add a little more garlic!

My kids and husband would not touch this. Its a lot of work and not worth it. The flavor of the meat was ok but like i said a lot of work for something so casual. :(

It was time cumsuming but they were GREAT!! But being PuertoRican myself almost every dish HAS TO HAVE SA-SON! I added just one package of Sa-son with the onions and bell pepper to lock in the flavor. After I drained the meat I added Basil, Garlic Poweder, and Chili Poweder to taste! It was WONDERFUL!! This one is a keeper!

These turned out very well. All of my boys, 18 months, 3 years, and 5 years, tried them and loved them. My neighbor smelled me cooking and stopped by to try what smelled so good! They both loved them too. We did not care for them as much plain, but dipped in sour cream and salsa, they were divine. We don't fry often, but next time, we will surely do this again. We used wonton squares instead of egg rolls. We have fun filling the squares with different cheese and frying them also. Those would compliment this recipe well.

Although this was very time consuming, my kids LOVED them!! I made a bunch and froze them for quick snacks & meals on the go. I also used some of the meat mixture tossed with noodles and sour cream the following night for dinner. I will definitely be making these again.

this recipe works best when it is not egg roll wrappers that are used. Do it the old fashioned way, with spanish ingredients, like goya wrappers that come frozen and they will come out much better. seal the edges with a fork, .. it also tastes good with cheese tucked inside, or for vegetarians cheese, beans or broccoli..

this was very time consuming,however, i loved it- i tasted the meat before i wrapped it and found it to be a little bland-so, i added more garlic,basil, ect. The outcome was so good- my picky husband even loved it- thanks!

These were great. Tasted alot like the inside of empanadas which are my favorite. Everyone loved them. I had to cut the cilantro in half. That was just way to much cilantro. I love cilantro but come on. and make sure the onions are chopped finely otherwise the taste is way different. I made that mistake the 2nd time

These are a big hit at our house. I usually roll these up eggroll fashion as I had problems with the wrappers tearing at first. Also makes them easy for the kids to eat. In addition to draining the ground beef well, be sure to have the oil hot enough when you start frying or they will soak up too much. [10/1/04] These are also really good using ground chicken instead of ground beef!

This was a different way to use ground beef. I liked the taste. The egg roll wrappers were so big, they needed more meat to fill. My picky husband liked this recipe. Required a long time to make for the mediocre results. I would use the meat portion in a plain corn taco shells.

I really loved these, my husband who is Puerto Rican liked them but, he thought they were too saucy & greasy. That would be my fault be sure to drain beef REALLY well! Overall they were delicious!

These are great appetizers! I have an aversion to cilantro and substituted spinach and WOW! With guacamole and salsa they were the hit at a dinner party I went to, where everyone brought something. Thanks!
