minutesIngredients
2 cups medium sharp Cheddar, shredded
1/3 pound thin-cut bacon, half the fat removed, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 tablespoon Kosher Salt
1/2 tablespoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1/2 large Red Onion, Diced
8 ounces 80/20 ground beef
40 wonton wrappers
Vegetable Oil, For Frying
Directions
- Thoroughly combine the Cheddar, bacon, salt, pepper and onions in a medium mixing bowl using your hands. Add in the beef and combine well.
- Roll out your wonton wrappers. Place a dollop of the filling into the center of each wonton using a tablespoon measure. Fold over the ends to make an enclosed envelope, and then secure by either scalloping or pressing the prongs of a fork into the edge.
- Heat some vegetable oil in a saute pan.
- Place the dumplings in a single layer in a large frying pan (you may need to work in batches). Add a few tablespoons water and heat slowly, covered, until the water has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Uncover and add 1 tablespoon of the hot oil to fry the bottoms of the dumplings.
