Cheeseburger Egg Rolls Easy and Delicious

Description

Cheeseburger Egg Rolls combine the flavors of a classic cheeseburger with the crispy texture of fried egg rolls. Packed with seasoned ground beef, gooey melted cheese, and tangy pickles, these are a delightful twist on traditional egg rolls, perfect as appetizers or party snacks.

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb (450 g) ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp mustard
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup chopped pickles (optional)
12 egg roll wrappers
Vegetable oil for frying
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: dipping sauce (e.g., ketchup, mustard, or ranch)

Instructions

Cook the Beef Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat.
Stir in ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and pickles (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner pointing towards you (diamond shape).
Place 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly, sealing the edge with a bit of water. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Fry the Egg Rolls: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (about 2-3 minutes per side).
Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

For a healthier alternative, bake the egg rolls in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
