Cheeseburger Eggrolls Recipe

Introduction

Cheeseburger eggrolls are a fun and flavorful twist on the classic cheeseburger. Crispy on the outside and packed with savory beef and melted cheddar inside, they make a perfect appetizer or snack for any occasion.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 package egg roll wrappers

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until the onions turn translucent and fragrant.
2. Step 2: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook and crumble the beef until there is no pink remaining, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Step 3: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to evenly combine all the flavors.
4. Step 4: Remove the beef mixture from heat and transfer to a bowl. Let it cool slightly, then fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
5. Step 5: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface and moisten the edges with water. Place a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly, sealing the top edge with water.
6. Step 6: Heat enough oil in a clean skillet over medium-high heat to cover the bottom. Carefully fry the eggrolls for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Step 7: Remove the eggrolls and place them on a napkin-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm and enjoy.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add diced pickles or a dash of mustard inside the filling before wrapping.
• Try different cheeses like pepper jack or mozzarella for a unique twist.
• Use a deep fryer for more even cooking and crispiness if you have one available.
• These eggrolls can be baked at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes as a lighter alternative to frying.

Storage

Store leftover eggrolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or until heated through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving to maintain the crunch.

FAQs

Can I prepare the filling in advance?

Yes, you can make the beef and cheese filling a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator. Just assemble and fry the eggrolls when ready to serve.

What can I use if I don’t have egg roll wrappers?

Wonton wrappers can be a good substitute, though they are smaller, so you might need to use more or adjust the filling amount accordingly.

Beef Mixture

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

For Frying

• Vegetable oil or another frying oil, enough to cover bottom of skillet

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients including the olive oil, diced onion, minced garlic, ground beef, seasonings, cheddar cheese, and egg roll wrappers to streamline the cooking process.
2. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and minced garlic, sautéing them for about 2-3 minutes until the onions turn translucent and fragrant, creating a flavorful base.
3. Cook Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Break it up with a spatula and cook until no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes.
4. Season the Beef: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Combine thoroughly to ensure the beef absorbs all the flavor.
5. Prepare Filling: Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the cooked beef mixture into a bowl. Allow it to cool slightly to prevent melting the wrappers, then fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
6. Wrap Eggrolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Wet the edges with water to help seal later. Spoon a generous amount of the beef and cheese mixture near the bottom corner of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold the sides inward and roll it up tightly, sealing the top edge with a dab of water.
7. Fry Eggrolls: In a clean skillet, pour enough oil to cover the bottom and heat over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the wrapped eggrolls. Fry them for 2-3 minutes on each side, turning gently until they become golden brown and crispy.
8. Drain and Serve: Remove the fried eggrolls from the skillet and place them on a napkin-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve warm as a delicious snack or appetizer.

Notes

• Allow the beef mixture to cool slightly before adding cheese to prevent the wrappers from becoming soggy.
• Make sure to seal the eggrolls tightly to avoid filling leakage while frying.
• Use medium heat when frying to ensure the eggrolls cook through without burning the wrapper.
• Eggrolls can be served with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce for an extra flavor boost.
• Store any leftover eggrolls in an airtight container and reheat in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
