Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls

If you have been to a party at my house you are familiar with these amazing morsels of deliciousness. It is the perfect hybrid between street food and Chinese take-out. We first came across this recipe at Dave & Busters ( the adult Chuck E Cheese where you can drink lots of beer and play skee ball.) I digress... So we had these and loved them. We said to ourselves," this cannot be that hard to whip up." So went home and googled Philly cheese steak egg rolls and the recipe for Guy Fieri's egg rolls came up. And a star was born. We get requests to make these constantly so I have a feeling you will be too. I usually serve them with ranch dressing or ketchup, but good ole fashion velveeta cheese dip would be delightful also.
