Cheeseburger Eggrolls Recipe

I recently tried a twist on a classic with cheeseburger egg rolls. Using ground beef, cheddar cheese, egg roll wrappers, and diced pickles, I created a crispy, flavorful bite that stands out among Egg Rolls. Every crunch promises a burst of savory, familiar flavors that will pique your curiosity.

I recently came across a twist on my favorite comfort food that I just had to share; these Cheeseburger Eggrolls are a gamechanger. Picture a crispy, golden wrapper enveloping a savory filling made from 1 lb ground beef, melted with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and mixed with 1/4 cup diced pickles for that perfect tang.

I like to use 12 egg roll wrappers to create little bundles of flavor that are both crunchy and juicy. This recipe is one of those fun egg roll recipes that merges the best of cheeseburgers with creative appetizer ideas.

It’s perfect for setting up a table of party food appetizers or when you just want a cool snack experimentation straight from your own diy food recipes collection. The process is simple, yet the taste is bold and unique making it one of the more interesting food recipes i’ve tried lately.

Ingredient Quantities

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 12 egg roll wrappers
• 1/4 cup diced pickles

How to Make this

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook it until it’s fully browned and crumbly, stirring often.

2. Carefully drain away any extra grease from the pan so the filling ain’t too oily.

3. Add the diced pickles into the beef and stir them in so they mix well.

4. Turn off the heat and let the beef cool a bit before stirring in the shredded cheddar cheese so it melts slightly into the mix.

5. Lay out one egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface with one corner pointing towards you.

6. Spoon about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the beef-cheddar mixture near the center of the wrapper.

7. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold the left and right sides inwards over the beef.

8. Roll it up tightly starting from the corner closest to you and dab a bit of water along the top edge to help seal the eggroll.

9. Repeat steps 5 to 8 for all egg roll wrappers until you run out of filling.

10. Heat enough oil in a deep pan for frying, then carefully fry the eggrolls in batches until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain them on paper towels and serve hot.

1. Large skillet for browning the ground beef

FAQ

Cheeseburger Eggrolls Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• Ground beef: you can swap it out with ground turkey or even chicken for a leaner twist
• Shredded cheddar cheese: try using pepper jack or mozzarella if you wanna mix up the flavor
• Egg roll wrappers: spring roll wrappers or wonton wrappers work pretty well if you cant find egg roll ones
• Diced pickles: you might use a bit of pickle relish or chopped dill pickles if you want a stronger tang

Pro Tips

1. Make sure you drain way off the extra grease from the pan so your eggrolls dont come out oily. A little extra oil can ruin the crunch after frying and you dont want that mess.
2. Let the ground beef cool off just enough before you toss in the cheddar cheese. This trick helps the cheese melt nicely and blend into the mix without making it all stringy.
3. Don’t overfill your egg roll wrappers. Overstuffing can cause them to tear when rolling or frying, so try to stick to just the right amount.
4. Test your oil temp by frying a small piece of filler first if possible. That way you can adjust the heat and avoid soggy eggrolls if the oil isn’t hot enough.
