These aren't your average egg rolls; oh no, these are elevated to a whole new level of deliciousness with the smoky goodness of slow-cooked brisket. Imagine: crispy, golden egg roll wrappers encasing a succulent filling of tender, smoky brisket, all bathed in your favorite BBQ sauce. Yeah, it's as good as it sounds. This recipe will take you through each step; It's perfect for a game day snack or even a satisfying dinner, depending on how many you make. And let's be honest, you'll probably want to make a whole lot of them.
This recipe is perfect for a weekend afternoon of smoky fun, though admittedly, smoking the brisket takes the majority of the time. My advice? Put on some music, grab a drink, and enjoy the process. This isn't just about cooking; it's about crafting an experience. The aroma of the smoked brisket alone is worth the effort, I swear. Remember to use a good-quality meat thermometer to ensure the brisket is cooked to the perfect level of tenderness and safety! It's always nice to add a fun twist to your cooking routine. Maybe try serving these at your next party or tailgating event -- your guests will be so impressed!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, you'll want to get that brisket smoked. I usually start with a good quality brisket (about 3-4 pounds) and generously season it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. I've tried different rubs, but sometimes simple is best! Then, pop it into your smoker at 225°F for about 8-10 hours, or until it's fork-tender and juicy. It's important to check the internal temp regularly, you want that baby at 200°F. Trust me, this is the most important part. Don't rush this part. This part is way more important than any other parts.
- Once the brisket is smoked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before shredding. This allows the juices to redistribute. Then, shred that brisket with your hands, discarding any large pieces of fat. Okay, so once that's done, in a large bowl, combine the shredded brisket with 1/2 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce (I'm a big fan of a tangy sauce!), 1/4 cup of chopped green onions, and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Gently mix everything together, being careful not to overmix. You want to keep the brisket nice and juicy!
- Now for the egg roll assembly. If you’re making your own egg roll wrappers (which you totally should. They're easy!), be sure to use a good recipe. If you're using store-bought ones, just make sure you have enough. Place a spoonful of the brisket filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling and then fold in the sides, then roll tightly, and seal the edge with water or a little bit of egg wash. Repeat until all the filling is used. (You’ll need about 12-15 egg roll wrappers. If you're using 12-inch wrappers, you’ll use the whole wrapper. If it’s smaller, you might need to make two egg rolls from one wrapper!)
- Arrange the egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam-side down. Now comes the fun part: brushing the egg rolls with a little extra BBQ sauce for a glossy finish. Then, bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until the wrappers are golden brown and crispy. But keep an eye on them! Over baking can lead to burning, which we don't want. Use a cooking thermometer to double-check they are cooked through.
- Once the egg rolls are cooked through, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as extra BBQ sauce, sweet chili sauce, or even a simple sriracha mayo! Enjoy your delicious smoked brisket egg rolls!
📝 Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or chipotle powder to the brisket filling. Adjust the amount of BBQ sauce to your preference. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces!
