Cheeseburger Egg Roll Recipe

Cheeseburger Egg Rolls are a fun and delicious twist on classic cheeseburgers, wrapped in crispy egg roll wrappers and fried to perfection. They make for a great appetizer or a creative main dish!

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cheeseburger Filling:

• Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and chopped onion. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
• Season and Mix: Add the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the beef mixture. Stir to combine. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Then, fold in the shredded cheese and pickles (if using).

2. Assemble the Egg Rolls:

• Prep the Wrappers: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape).
• Add the Filling: Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the cheeseburger filling onto the center of the wrapper.
• Fold: Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly. Moisten the top corner with a little water to seal the egg roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

3. Fry the Egg Rolls:

• Heat Oil: In a deep frying pan or Dutch oven, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
• Fry: Carefully add a few egg rolls to the hot oil at a time, frying them until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

4. Serve:

• Transfer the cheeseburger egg rolls to a serving platter. Serve warm with ketchup and mustard for dipping.

Serving Suggestions

• Appetizer or Snack: These egg rolls are perfect for parties, game days, or family gatherings.
• Pair with Sides: Serve with fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Storage Instructions

• Refrigeration: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
• Freezing: You can freeze the assembled but un-fried egg rolls for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, fry them straight from the freezer, adding a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling:
   In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
   Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
   Stir in Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

   Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture into the center of the wrapper.
   Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold the sides in toward the center.

Notes

Baking Option: To make these healthier, you can bake the egg rolls. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C), place the assembled egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and spray them lightly with cooking spray. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.

Variations: Feel free to add other toppings to the filling, such as cooked bacon, diced tomatoes, or shredded lettuce for a complete cheeseburger experience.

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to retain crispiness.
