Cheeseburger Egg Rolls Crispy Fusion (Printer-Friendly Version)

Crispy wrappers packed with juicy beef, cheddar, and burger-inspired flavors—ideal for snacking or parties.

# What You'll Need:

→ Filling

01 - 1 pound ground beef (80% lean preferred)
02 - 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
03 - 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
04 - 2 tablespoons ketchup
05 - 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
06 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
07 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
08 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Assembly

09 - 12 egg roll wrappers
10 - 1 large egg, beaten

→ Frying

11 - 4 cups vegetable oil, for deep frying

# Steps to Follow:

01 - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef and chopped onion, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
02 - Reduce heat to low. Add shredded cheddar, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir until cheese has fully melted and mixture is combined. Remove from heat and let cool completely before assembling.
03 - Lay one egg roll wrapper on a flat surface in a diamond shape. Place 2 tablespoons of filling into the center. Fold bottom corner up over the filling, fold in both sides, and roll tightly toward the top. Brush top corner with beaten egg and press to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
04 - Pour vegetable oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat oil to 350°F, monitoring temperature with a deep-fry thermometer.
05 - Working in batches, place egg rolls into hot oil and fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Do not crowd the pan. Adjust heat as necessary to keep oil temperature steady.
06 - Transfer fried egg rolls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Serve immediately with your choice of burger-style dipping sauces.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Allow the filling to cool before assembling to prevent the wrappers from becoming soggy.
02 - For best results, seal the wrappers well with beaten egg, especially around the corners, to minimize leaks during frying.
03 - Test fry a single roll first to check oil temperature and frying time.
04 - Leftover egg rolls can be refrigerated for up to three days and reheated in an oven or air fryer to preserve crispness.
05 - Uncooked, assembled egg rolls may be frozen and fried directly from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to frying time.
