Hosting parties is hard.
Now that I’ve officially entered adulthood, gone are the days of “parties” that consist of telling everyone to BYOB and “picking up” is as far as cleaning goes.
Nope. Now that I’m an adult, parties mean scrubbing every inch of the apartment, cooking/baking themed treats, and of course providing refreshments for guests.
And it’s a lot of work.
I hosted a Halloween party this year- complete with spooky sangria, mini mummy pizzas, buffalo chicken dip, Halloween cut-out cookies, and more! Although I spent the better part of the entire week preparing – I’d say it was a success!
Will all that Halloween prep, I needed a quick and easy dinner idea, and this Egg Roll in a Bowl was the perfect one.
Allow me to list all the things I love about this Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe …
- The name rhymes.
- It’s a one-pot recipe (hooray for fewer dishes).
- Low carb = I can eat as much of it as I want.
- Budget-friendly! Cabbage is cheap, and this recipe makes a lot to eat all week.
- Speaking of eating all week, it makes great leftovers!
Okay I’ll stop there but just trust me on this – Egg Roll in a Bowl tastes just like the inside of an egg roll, but without the wrapper! Toss everything in one skillet and cook until it’s done. It doesn’t get much easier than that.
In about 20 minutes, you’ll have a delicious meal ready to serve. Plus, I ate this for lunch the next few days after making it and I would argue that it tasted even better!
Next time you need a quick and easy meal, give this Egg Roll in a Bowl a try. It’s delicious, low-carb, and super-dy duper easy to make.

I may be the odd man out, but I like the wrappers. I'm thinking of making some wonton "crisps" to add to each serving as desired.

Excellent recipe. I love how it can be tweaked for personal tastes. I used savoy cabbage because that's what I had and also added shiitake mushrooms.

Question... Recipe calls for country sausage but directions say to brown the ground beef? Could you please clarify. Is it breakfast sausage? Recipe sounds so yummy I hate to mess it up

Hi Laurie! It's ground country sausage, like Jimmy Dean brand! It's typically found in the breakfast meats section of the grocery store near sausage, bacon, etc.
