How to Make Cheeseburger Egg Rolls
1. Cook the Beef
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula.
- Drain excess grease and let it cool slightly.
2. Mix in the Cheese & Pickles
- In a bowl, mix the cooked beef, diced pickles, cheddar, and mozzarella cheese.
- Stir everything together—this is where the magic happens.
3. Assemble the Egg Rolls
- Lay an egg roll wrapper flat with a corner pointing toward you.
- Place 2 tablespoons of the cheeseburger mixture in the center.
- Fold the bottom corner up over the filling.
- Fold in the sides, then roll it up tightly.
- Seal the edge with a little water to keep it closed.
4. Fry Until Golden & Crispy
- Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the egg rolls in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Drain on a wire rack (not paper towels—moisture = soggy egg rolls).
5. Serve with Burger Sauce & Devour
- Slice them diagonally for that Instagram-worthy cross-section.
- Dunk generously in that perfect burger sauce.
How to Customize It
🔥 Want it spicy? Add diced jalapeños or hot sauce to the beef.
🔥 Make it bacon-y. Stir in crispy crumbled bacon.
🔥 Prefer a different cheese? Try pepper jack or Swiss.
🔥 No frying? Air-fry at 375°F for 10 minutes, flipping halfway.
Common Mistakes (And How to Avoid Them)
🔥 Overstuffing the egg rolls.
- Keep it 2 tablespoons max, or they’ll burst when frying.
🔥 Not sealing the wrappers properly.
- Use water on the edges to keep them from opening.
🔥 Frying at the wrong temp.
- Too hot? The outside burns before the inside melts.
- Too low? You get greasy, sad egg rolls.
🔥 Skipping the sauce.
- Just… don’t. That sauce makes the whole thing.
FAQs – Because I Know You’re Wondering
1. Can I make these ahead of time?
Yep! Roll them up, store in the fridge for up to 24 hours, and fry when ready.
2. Can I freeze them?
Yes! Freeze uncooked egg rolls in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag. Fry straight from frozen at 350°F for 4-5 minutes.
3. What should I serve with them?
- French fries (duh)
- Coleslaw (for a little crunch)
- A cold beer (trust me, it works)
4. Can I bake these instead?
You can, but they won’t be as crispy. Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, flipping halfway.
