Cheeseburger Egg Rolls
Report
I love these Cheeseburger Egg Rolls because they mix two of my favorite comfort foods into one crispy and cheesy bite. They are perfect as a snack or appetizer, but I have definitely served them for dinner too with some rice or noodles on the side. Every roll is stuffed with gooey cheese, seasoned beef, and pickles, so it is like biting into a cheeseburger wrapped in a crunchy egg roll wrapper.

Instructions
- Preheat a medium cast iron pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add one tablespoon of oil and the minced onion. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
- 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.
- Stir in garlic, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Drain off the grease and juices from the pan, and transfer the beef to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the cheese to the bowl and stir until melted and evenly incorporated. Stir in the pickles.
- In a deep skillet, over medium heat, heat up the olive oil to about 350 degrees.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of cheeseburger filling in a line on an egg roll, leaving about an inch on each side of the wrap.
- Carefully, fold the corner that's closest to you over the cheeseburger mixture, and tuck under the filling.
- 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.
- Fry egg rolls in batches until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side, turning once the bottom side turns golden.
- Serve with thousand island dressing.
Notes
- One thing I never skip when making these egg rolls is draining the ground beef really well. If you do not, the extra grease makes the egg rolls soggy and heavy, and the wrappers just do not get that perfect crisp. So always take the time to drain the meat fully before adding the cheese and pickles. It keeps the filling rich and tasty without the mess.
- If I do not have fresh garlic, I use about half a teaspoon of garlic powder. It still gives the filling that savory flavor I love.
- When I need to make these gluten-free, I use spring roll wrappers made from rice. They work great and still get nice and crispy.
- I always cool my egg rolls on a wire rack instead of paper towels. It keeps them from getting soggy underneath.
- To make sure the oil is hot enough, I drip a little water into the pan. If it sizzles right away, I know it is ready for frying.
- I fry the egg rolls in small batches. When I crowd the pan, they end up steaming instead of frying, and I miss out on that golden crispy shell.
