Cheeseburger Egg Rolls – A Fun Twist on a Classic Favorite!
All the flavors of a cheeseburger, wrapped in a crispy egg roll shell. These handheld treats are perfect for a snack, appetizer, or even a full meal. You get the savory beef, melted cheese, pickles, and a hint of mustard in every crunchy bite!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup pickles, chopped
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- 1–2 cups oil for frying
- Optional: Ketchup and mustard for dipping
structions:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and onions until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
Stir in mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and cook for another 1–2 minutes to combine the flavors.
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese and chopped pickles.
Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, spoon about 2-3 tbsp of the cheeseburger mixture into the center, and roll up tightly, folding in the sides as you go.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Drain on paper towels. Serve warm with ketchup and mustard for dipping.
Tips:
- For a healthier version, bake the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Add cooked bacon or sautéed mushrooms to the filling for a gourmet twist!
- Serve with a side of coleslaw or a simple salad to balance the richness.
FAQs:
Q: Can I freeze these before frying?
A: Yes! Freeze them uncooked, then fry straight from the freezer. You may need to add a minute or two to the frying time.
Q: Can I use different cheese?
A: Absolutely! Try Swiss, mozzarella, or American cheese for different flavors.
Q: What dipping sauces go best?
A: Classic ketchup and mustard work, but BBQ sauce, ranch, or even spicy mayo are great alternatives!
