Hello Friends!
I hope you are having a great summer! It is flying by for me. We are currently in Utah for a family reunion and enjoying every minute! Great food, fun activities and lots of sweet family time…it is the perfect end to our summer. Can you believe that we start school next week back in Tennessee?! Yikes. I am not sure that I am ready for that! But, I am pretty sure this Eggroll in a Bowl will be on the menu lots this school year.
Why Make Eggroll in a Bowl?
First of all, it is full of good vegetables and tastes great! Secondly, it comes together in like 15 minutes which is perfect for busy weeknights. Lastly, and most importantly, everybody in my family loves Eggroll in a Bowl! Some of my boys like to eat it over rice, but if you are watching your carbs, it is really good on it’s own!
What Meat should I use?
We prefer ground pork, but beef is really good too. I have not tried ground chicken, but we did not love it when I used ground turkey. It was really dry. I think if you only had ground turkey, I would add a runny fried egg on top. That would add to the sauce and bump up the protein.
