How to Make Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

• Step One: Preheat 3 inches of oil to 375°F in a large stockpot.
• Step Two: In a large skillet over medium heat, add ground beef, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and cumin. Cook until browned. Once cooked, remove from heat and drain excess grease.
• Step Three: In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine seasoned beef, cheddar cheese, onion and pickles.
• Step Four: Place the egg roll wrapper on a clean work surface with one corner facing you. Spoon 3 tablespoons of the meat mixture in the middle of the wrapper.

• Step Five: Fold the bottom corner up and over the filling. Next, fold the two outward corners into the center like an envelope. Brush the remaining top corner with a little water and roll the egg roll up to seal. Repeat rolling process with the remaining wrappers.

• Step Six: Once all the egg rolls are wrapped and the oil is heated, carefully add 4 egg rolls to the hot oil. Fry 3 to 4 minutes or until sufficiently browned.
• Step Seven: Once cooked, remove from the pot and place on a plate or baking sheet lined with paper towels. Repeat the frying process until all remaining egg rolls are fried. Serve with condiments.

Storage Instructions

Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container or plastic ziptop bag in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Can I Freeze?

Yes! You can freeze cheeseburger egg rolls cooked and uncooked. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then again in aluminum foil. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw completely before cooking or reheating.

Can I Make Ahead?

Yes, you can make this recipe up to a day in advance if you like.

You can cook them the day before and store, covered, in the fridge. Use an air fryer to crisp them back up. Cook at 350°F for 2 to 4 minutes, until they are hot.

You can also prepare them ahead of time and not cook them until you are ready to eat. Store in the fridge, covered. Let them sit out on the counter while you heating up the oil so they aren’t too cold when they go into to cook.

Air Fryer Method

You can also make this recipe in your air fryer! Cook at 400°F for 7 to 10 minutes. Flip the egg rolls half way through.

Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket. You may need to work in batches.

Keep an eye on the first batch since air fryers can vary greatly depending on the make and the model.

Oven Method

You can also bake them in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lay out the egg rolls on a baking sheet.

Brush both sides of the egg rolls with extra virgin olive oil.

Bake for 8 minutes. Flip the egg rolls over and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until the wrapper is golden brown.
