Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

Cheeseburger Egg Rolls feature a savory ground beef mixture with onions, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, pickles, and cheddar cheese all wrapped in crispy fried egg roll wrappers. Draining excess grease from the cooked beef ensures a crisp shell, while melting cheese and fresh pickles give a balance of richness and tanginess to the filling. The egg rolls are fried to a golden, crispy finish.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 yellow onion finely minced, medium
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • salt
  • ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup pickle diced
  • 13-14 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg whisked, white
  • vegetable oil for cooking
  • olive oil for frying

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat a medium cast iron pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add one tablespoon of oil and the minced onion. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
  3. Add the ground beef, cook it breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Season it with some salt and pepper, cover it, and cook until the meat starts to brown.
  4. Stir in garlic, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
  5. Drain off the grease and juices from the pan, and transfer the beef to a large mixing bowl.
  6. Add the cheese to the bowl and stir until melted and evenly incorporated. Stir in the pickles.
  7. In a deep skillet, over medium heat, heat up the olive oil to about 350 degrees.
  8. Spread about 2 tablespoons of cheeseburger filling in a line on an egg roll, leaving about an inch on each side of the wrap.
  9. Carefully, fold the corner that's closest to you over the cheeseburger mixture, and tuck under the filling.
  10. After that, fold both side corners toward the center of the wrapper. Dip your fingers in egg white and run it along the edges of the wrapper to seal. Gently roll up the egg roll.
  11. Fry egg rolls in batches until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side, turning once the bottom side turns golden.
  12. Serve with thousand island dressing.

Notes

  • Drain ground beef thoroughly after cooking to avoid soggy egg rolls and ensure a crisp wrapper.
  • If fresh garlic is unavailable, substitute with about half a teaspoon of garlic powder for flavor.
  • Use rice spring roll wrappers to make a gluten-free version while maintaining crispiness.
  • Cool fried egg rolls on a wire rack instead of paper towels to prevent sogginess underneath.
  • Check if oil is hot enough for frying by dropping a bit of water; it should sizzle immediately.
  • Fry egg rolls in small batches to prevent overcrowding and maintain a crispy texture.
