Fired Won Tons

Here is my first installment of a "budget dinner." By budget dinner, I am thinking it only takes a few, cheapish ingredients. This is one of my family faves growing up (there are 9 kids in my fam). It makes a TON, and they are sooo yummy. I guess you could get real creative and add other ingredients, but then it wouldn't really be as cheap...


Fried Won Tons

-1-2 cans Canned Roast Beef
carrots
won ton wrappers (these are typically found in the produce section by the other specialty items...)

-Grate carrots. Cook meat until tender. Mix both together. Place about a teaspoon of the filling into won tons, pinch closed with water. Make sure no meat is exposed or it will pop in the oil-and it hurts! Fry in oil until brown and crispy. Serve with sweet and sour sauce.

Tip: I like to make up a bunch of the raw won tons before I start frying them so I can keep adding them as others get done.
