Tips and Variations:
Tips:
Be sure to properly seal the egg roll wrappers to prevent the filling from spilling out during frying.
If you're short on time, you can prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to assemble and fry the egg rolls.
To prevent the egg rolls from getting soggy, serve them immediately after frying.
Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature (around 350-375°F) for frying the egg rolls.
If you don't have a deep fryer, you can use a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or skillet to fry the egg rolls. Just be sure to use enough oil to fully submerge the egg rolls while frying.
Variations:
Add different types of cheese, such as cheddar, pepper jack, or blue cheese, to change the flavor.
Experiment with different types of ground meat, such as turkey, chicken, or even plant-based alternatives like tofu or tempeh.
Customize the toppings to your liking - try adding diced tomatoes, pickles, or bacon bits for added flavor and texture.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until the beef is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
Add the salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the skillet and stir to combine.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the shredded cheese until melted and fully incorporated.
An egg roll wrapper should be placed in one corner towards you. Onto the center of the wrapper, place about 2 teaspoons of the beef mixture.
The bottom corner of the wrapper should be folded up over the filling before the two side corners are folded in. Roll the wrapper tightly away from you, sealing the top corner with a dab of water.
Use the remaining egg roll wrappers and filling to repeat the process.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350-375°F.
Carefully add the egg rolls to the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried egg rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the cheeseburger egg rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
