1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1 large onion, chopped

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Lay 1 egg roll wrapper at a 45-degree angle on a flat work surface; place 3 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center. Fold bottom corner over beef mixture and roll up halfway. Fold in both sides. Moisten edges of the top corner and roll up, pressing down top corner to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and beef mixture.
