Introduction

This Crockpot Egg Roll In A Bowl is a flavorful, easy-to-make dish that captures all the classic flavors of an egg roll without the wrapper. Perfect for busy weeknights, it combines ground meat, crisp vegetables, and a savory sauce cooked slowly to perfection.

A large round white bowl filled with a layered dish, starting with a base of cooked ground meat mixed with small chunks of orange-colored vegetables and sauce, topped with many thin yellow crispy strips scattered over the top, and sprinkled with bright green chopped scallions. Next to the bowl is a small white bowl holding more of the crispy yellow strips. Behind both bowls is a tall glass filled with a dark brown drink full of ice cubes.

Step 3: Pour the sauce mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker and stir everything together until evenly mixed.
Step 4: Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and vegetables to soften.

Tips & Variations

For extra crunch, add chopped water chestnuts or snap peas to the slow cooker before cooking.

Use ground turkey as a leaner alternative to chicken or pork.
If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the red pepper flakes or add a splash of sriracha.
Serve over steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a more filling meal.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop until warmed through. This dish does not freeze well because of the cabbage texture but can be enjoyed fresh for best flavor.
