=== Ingredients ===
* 2 pound ground beef
* 1 large onion, finely chopped
* 1 can mixed vegetables
* ¼ cup soy sauce
* 2½ tbls Tony's creole seasoning
* 1½ tablespoons garlic powder
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1 (16 ounce) package spring roll wrappers
* 1½ quarts oil for frying
== Directions ==
# In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onion, and vegetables
# Make sure to completely mix everything
# Get down and dirty and use your hands
# Knead the meat in the bowl if you must
# Gradually blend in the soy sauce , Tony's, garlic powder, and salt until all ingredients are evenly distributed
# Lay out a few wrappers at a time on a flat surface, and place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in a line down the center of the wrapper
# Make sure the filling is no thicker than your thumb, or the wrapper will cook faster than the meat
# Take the bottom and top edges of the wrapper and fold them towards the center
# Take the left and right sides, and fold them towards the center
# Moisten the last edge of the wrapper to seal
# Now repeat using the rest of the wrappers
# Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or heavy skillet to 375 °F (190 °C)
# Fry 3 or 4 lumpia at a time
# Fry for about 3 or 4 minutes, turning once
# Lumpia are cooked through when they float, and the wrapper is golden brown
# Cut in half, or serve as is with dipping sauce of your choice
# We like sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce with calamansi, or banana ketchup
