Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

Cheeseburger Egg Rolls are a unique and tasty appetizer that combines all the delicious elements of a cheeseburger in a crispy, handheld form.

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet (optional)
  • Deep fryer or large pot
  • Slotted spoon
  • Paper towels

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 cup diced pickles
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup mustard
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • Oil for frying
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Cook the Beef:
  • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onions until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent. Drain excess fat.
  • Stir in the diced pickles, shredded cheddar cheese, ketchup, and mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  • Assemble the Egg Rolls:
  • Lay out an egg roll wrapper with one corner pointing toward you. Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center of the wrapper.
  • Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll up the wrapper tightly, sealing the top corner with a bit of water. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  • Fry the Egg Rolls:
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the egg rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • Serve:
  • Serve the egg rolls hot with dipping sauces such as ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing.

Notes

For a healthier option, you can bake the egg rolls in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through.
Add chopped bacon or jalapeños to the filling for extra flavor.
