- 1 pound ground beef - 1/2 cup yellow onion, finely chopped - 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded - 1/2 cup dill pickles, finely chopped The main ingredients set the stage for our cheeseburger egg rolls. First, the ground beef gives a rich, savory flavor. The yellow onion adds sweetness when cooked. Sharp cheddar cheese brings a creamy texture and tangy taste. Dill pickles give a nice crunch and a touch of acidity. - 1 tablespoon ketchup - 1 tablespoon yellow mustard - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - Salt and black pepper, to taste Seasoning enhances the filling. Ketchup and mustard bring classic cheeseburger flavors. Garlic powder adds depth. Don't forget salt and black pepper to bring everything together. These small touches make a big taste difference. - 12 egg roll wrappers - Oil for frying (canola or vegetable recommended) Egg roll wrappers hold everything inside. They crisp up nicely when fried. Use canola or vegetable oil for the best results. This oil has a high smoke point, which means it will fry your rolls perfectly. Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the rolls. This way, you get that perfect golden-brown color. {{ingredient_image_2}} 1. Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef. Cook it until it turns brown. Use a spatula to break it apart as it cooks. 2. After the beef is browned, drain any extra grease. This keeps the filling from being too greasy. 3. Next, add 1/2 cup of finely chopped yellow onion. Sauté the onions for 3 to 4 minutes. They should become soft and clear. 4. Now, mix in 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup of chopped dill pickles, 1 tablespoon of ketchup, and 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard. Add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir everything well until the cheese melts. Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool for a few minutes. 1. Find a clean, dry surface. Lay an egg roll wrapper flat. Make sure one corner is facing you. 2. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cheeseburger filling into the center of the wrapper. 3. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling. Next, fold in the two side corners. 4. Carefully roll the wrapper away from you toward the top corner. Keep the filling secure inside. 5. To seal the edge, use a dab of water on the wrapper. Repeat this with the rest of the wrappers and filling until you finish. 1. In a large pot or deep skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Aim for a temperature of 350°F. 2. Once the oil is hot, gently place the egg rolls in batches into the oil. Don’t overcrowd the pan. 3. Fry each egg roll for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. They should turn golden brown and crispy. 4. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried egg rolls to a plate lined with paper towels. This will soak up any extra oil. 5. Serve the cheeseburger egg rolls while hot. Add extra ketchup and mustard for dipping! - Check oil temperature for crispy results: Heat your oil to about 350°F. This gives you that golden, crispy outside. Use a thermometer if you can. This step is key. - Avoid overcrowding the pan: Fry in small batches. Too many at once cools the oil and makes soggy rolls. Keep them separate for the best crunch. - Experiment with additional seasonings: Try adding some smoked paprika or chili powder. These spices can add a nice kick to your filling. You can also mix in some onion powder for more depth. - Try different types of cheese: While sharp cheddar is great, consider pepper jack for heat or mozzarella for a more stretchy texture. Each cheese brings its unique taste. - Arrange on a platter with dipping sauces: Place the egg rolls on a nice platter. Use small bowls for ketchup and mustard. This makes it look inviting and fun. - Garnish with parsley or pickle slices: A sprinkle of parsley adds color. You can also lay a few pickle slices next to the rolls. It adds a fresh touch that pairs well with the flavors inside. Pro Tips Keep the Filling Cool: Allow the cheeseburger mixture to cool slightly before filling the wrappers. This prevents the wrappers from becoming soggy and helps maintain their crispiness during frying. Fry in Batches: Fry the egg rolls in small batches to ensure even cooking. Overcrowding the pan can lower the oil temperature, resulting in greasy egg rolls. Use a Thermometer: For perfectly fried egg rolls, use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the oil temperature, aiming for around 350°F. This ensures a golden brown and crispy exterior. Experiment with Fillings: Feel free to customize the filling! Add cooked bacon, sautéed mushrooms, or even jalapeños for a spicy twist on your cheeseburger egg rolls. {{image_4}} You can easily make cheeseburger egg rolls vegetarian. Simply swap ground beef for plant-based protein. This change keeps the taste while making it meat-free. You can use crumbled tofu or lentils as good alternatives. To add more color and crunch, mix in veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms. Chopped spinach also works well here. These additions bring more flavor and nutrients to your dish. For a fun twist, try different types of cheese. Creamy mozzarella or spicy pepper jack can change the taste. You can also add jalapeños for a spicy kick. This adds heat that many people love. Other ingredients like bacon bits or caramelized onions can also make great fillings. Get creative with options to find your favorite mix! Using an air fryer is a great way to cook cheeseburger egg rolls. It gives them a crispy texture without deep frying. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F. Spray the egg rolls lightly with cooking spray. Place them in the fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning. This method makes it easy to enjoy a healthier version of this snack! To keep your cheeseburger egg rolls fresh, cool them to room temperature first. Place them in an airtight container. This helps prevent sogginess. In the fridge, they last up to three days. For the best results, reheat egg rolls in an oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the egg rolls on a baking sheet. Heat for 10-15 minutes until they are warm and crispy. You can also use an air fryer at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes. Want a quick bite? Try microwaving them, but they won't stay as crispy. You can freeze both uncooked and cooked egg rolls. For uncooked, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They last up to three months. To cook from frozen, do not thaw. Fry them directly from the freezer for about 4-5 minutes longer than usual. Cooked egg rolls can also be frozen. Just let them cool first, then store similarly. Reheat directly from the freezer using the oven or air fryer. Yes, you can prep cheeseburger egg rolls ahead. Cook the filling and cool it first. Then, wrap the egg rolls.
