Ingredients for Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

To create these mouthwatering Cheeseburger Egg Rolls, you’ll need a carefully curated list of ingredients that come together to deliver an explosion of flavors in every bite.

For the Filling:

• 1 lb ground beef (90/10 lean)
• 1/2 small onion, finely diced
• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4-6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/3 cup dill pickles, finely chopped
• 3 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp yellow mustard
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste

For Assembly:

• 12-16 egg roll wrappers
• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

For the Sauce:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2-3 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp yellow mustard
• 1 tbsp sweet relish
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking the Cheeseburger Filling

The key to delicious Cheeseburger Egg Rolls starts with the perfect filling. Begin by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat and adding the ground beef and diced onion. Cook the mixture, breaking up the beef as it cooks, until it’s browned and the onions are softened, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the pan.

Next, add the minced garlic, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Finally, stir in the ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, mixing well to incorporate. Remove the pan from the heat and fold in the cooked chopped bacon, diced pickles, and shredded cheddar cheese until the cheese has melted. Allow the filling to cool slightly before assembling the egg rolls.

Assembling the Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

To assemble the Cheeseburger Egg Rolls, lay an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape in front of you. Place approximately 3 to 4 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 continue rolling tightly into a cylindrical shape. Brush the top corner with a little water to seal the egg roll.

Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling until you’ve used it all up. The number of egg rolls you’ll end up with may vary depending on how much filling you use per roll.

Frying the Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

Once your Cheeseburger Egg Rolls are assembled, it’s time to fry them to crispy perfection. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat about 1 inch of oil to 350°F. Carefully add the egg rolls, seam side down, and fry for 3 to 4 minutes per side until they are golden brown and crispy.

Transfer the fried egg rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Let them rest for 4 to 5 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.

Making the Cheeseburger Dipping Sauce

No Cheeseburger Egg Rolls experience would be complete without the perfect dipping sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (if desired). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

The creamy, tangy, and slightly sweet sauce perfectly complements the savory, crispy egg rolls, allowing you to dip, dunk, and enjoy every last bite.

Serving and Enjoying Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

Serve the warm Cheeseburger Egg Rolls with the cheeseburger dipping sauce on the side. These delightful bites are perfect as an appetizer, a game day snack, or even a unique main course when paired with a fresh salad or crispy fries.

Invite your friends and family to dive into these irresistible flavor-packed egg rolls and get ready for the rave reviews. The combination of juicy cheeseburger filling, crispy wrapper, and creamy burger-inspired sauce is simply out of this world.

FAQs About Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

Can I use different cheeses in my cheeseburger egg rolls?

Absolutely! While cheddar cheese is a classic choice, you can experiment with various cheeses to suit your taste. Some great alternatives include pepper jack for a spicy kick, mozzarella for a gooey texture, or even blue cheese for a bolder flavor. Mix and match cheeses to create your own unique twist on the traditional cheeseburger flavor profile. Just be mindful of the melting properties of the cheese you choose, especially if you’re aiming for a crispy egg roll exterior.

What is the best way to reheat leftover cheeseburger egg rolls?

The best way to reheat cheeseburger egg rolls is in the oven to maintain their crispiness. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Heat them for about 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are warmed through and crisp. Alternatively, you can use an air fryer set to 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes for a quick and crispy reheating option. Avoid using the microwave, as it can make the egg rolls soggy.

How can I customize the filling for cheeseburger egg rolls to cater to dietary restrictions?

Customizing the filling for cheeseburger egg rolls is easy and can accommodate various dietary restrictions. For a vegetarian option, replace the ground beef with lentils, mushrooms, or plant-based meat substitutes. If you want a gluten-free version, use gluten-free egg roll wrappers or make your own wrappers from rice paper. For dairy-free options, you can substitute cheese with vegan cheese or simply omit it. Always check the labels of any sauces or condiments to ensure they meet your dietary needs.

Can I freeze cheeseburger egg rolls for later use?

Yes, cheeseburger egg rolls can be frozen for future enjoyment! To freeze, assemble the egg rolls but do not fry them. Lay them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. They can be stored in the freezer for up to three months. When you’re ready to cook them, you can fry them directly from frozen; just increase the frying time slightly until they are golden brown and cooked through.
