Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling

• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until browned, breaking the meat apart as it cooks.
• Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
• Stir in the chopped onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
• Remove from heat and mix in the shredded cheddar cheese, mustard, ketchup, and diced pickles (and optional bell peppers).

2. Assemble the Egg Rolls

• Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you, forming a diamond shape.
• Place a heaping tablespoon of the beef mixture in the center of the wrapper.
• Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly toward the top corner and seal the edge with water or an egg wash for a secure closure.

3. Fry the Egg Rolls

• Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 375°F (190°C).
• Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (about 2-3 minutes per batch).
• Remove from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

4. Serve with Dipping Sauce

• Arrange the egg rolls on a platter and serve with your choice of dipping sauces. Enjoy while they’re hot and crispy!

Tips for Perfect Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

Use Fresh Ingredients

Fresh vegetables, high-quality ground beef, and sharp cheddar cheese will enhance the flavor of your egg rolls.

Don’t Overfill the Wrappers

Adding too much filling can cause the egg rolls to tear or burst during frying. Use about a heaping tablespoon for each roll.

Seal the Wrappers Properly

Use a bit of water or egg wash to seal the edges tightly, ensuring the filling stays inside during frying.

Fry at the Right Temperature

Keep the oil at 375°F (190°C) for a perfectly crispy and golden result.

Bake for a Healthier Option

If you prefer a lighter version, bake the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through.
