Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it takes all the deliciousness of a cheeseburger and turns it into a handheld treat with a crispy shell. It’s easy to make, quick to cook, and great for sharing with friends or family. Plus, it’s versatile—I can add my favorite burger flavors without the mess of a traditional burger.

Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

  • Ground beef
  • Onion
  • Garlic
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper
  • Cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • Pickles (chopped, optional)
  • Eggroll wrappers
  • Cooking oil (for frying)
  • Ketchup and mustard (for dipping, optional)

Directions

  1. Cook ground beef with diced onion and minced garlic in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for another minute, then remove from heat and cool slightly.
  3. Mix in shredded cheddar cheese and chopped pickles if using.
  4. Place about 2 tablespoons of the mixture on an eggroll wrapper. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, sealing edges with water.
  5. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry the eggrolls until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  6. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup or mustard.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes approximately 12 eggrolls, serving 4 to 6 people. It takes around 15 minutes to prepare and about 15 minutes to cook.

Variations

I sometimes add diced tomatoes, switch up the cheese, or add a little hot sauce for extra flavor. For a lighter version, I bake the eggrolls instead of frying, brushing them lightly with oil and baking at 425°F until crispy.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftover eggrolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, baking them at 375°F for about 10 minutes works best to keep the crispiness. Microwaving tends to make them soggy.

FAQs

Can I prepare the eggrolls ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble them ahead and refrigerate before frying. Fry fresh for the best crunch.

Is baking a good alternative to frying?

Definitely. Baking at 425°F for 15-20 minutes with a light oil brush yields crispy eggrolls with less oil.

What type of cheese do you recommend?

I prefer sharp cheddar for the classic cheeseburger taste, but American or mozzarella also work well.

Can these be frozen?

Yes, freeze uncooked eggrolls on a sheet, then transfer to a bag. Cook from frozen, adding extra time.

What sauces pair well with cheeseburger eggrolls?

Ketchup, mustard, ranch, barbecue sauce, or spicy aioli all complement these eggrolls nicely.

Conclusion

I find cheeseburger eggrolls to be a delicious, fun way to enjoy familiar flavors with a crispy twist. Easy to customize and quick to make, they’re perfect for snacks or parties. I hope this recipe inspires you to try something new with your favorite burger ingredients
