Cheeseburger Egg Rolls: A Fun Twist on a Classic

Cheeseburger Egg Rolls are a delightfully crispy and savory treat filled with all the flavors of a classic cheeseburger. They’re not heavy or overly greasy either. I think they’re a perfect appetizer or snack for any gathering, and if you’re not a fan of beef, feel free to substitute with turkey or your favorite meat.

They will still be undeniably delicious! If you’re looking for a crunchy and flavorful snack that’s not overly heavy, you’ve come to the right place.

I’ve really been in the mood for something fun and these crispy egg rolls remind me of summer BBQs and comfort food. Not a fan of beef? Don’t worry, they’re still delicious with any filling you choose.

Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Large skillet or frying pan
• Spatula
• Mixing bowl
• Baking sheet
• Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef or turkey
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 12-15 egg roll wrappers
• 1 large egg, beaten (for sealing)
• Vegetable oil (for frying)
• Optional: pickles, lettuce, and tomatoes for serving

Directions

1. Cook the Filling:
   • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or turkey and chopped onion until the meat is browned and the onion is tender. Drain any excess fat.
2. Season the Filling:
   • Add the shredded cheddar cheese, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Assemble the Egg Rolls:
   • Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cheeseburger filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly. Brush a bit of the beaten egg on the top corner to seal the egg roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
4. Fry the Egg Rolls:
   • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the egg rolls to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
5. Serve:
   • Serve the cheeseburger egg rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauces. Optionally, you can serve them with pickles, lettuce, and tomatoes on the side for a complete cheeseburger experience.

These Cheeseburger Egg Rolls are the perfect way to enjoy a fun and delicious twist on a classic favorite. Enjoy!
