It's no secret—we love experimenting with egg roll fillings. From our Reuben egg rolls to our burrito egg rolls, we can't get enough of the crispy coating surrounding our chosen filling in these easy appetizers. In this recipe, we decided to turn one of our favorite, go-to meals—the classic cheeseburger—into a shareable, hand-held Super Bowl snack. It's basically a fried cheeseburger...need we say more? This recipe is completely customizable to your fave burger toppings, so get to filling and frying!
How to make cheeseburger egg rolls:
First, you're going to cook your ground beef before incorporating your seasonings, bacon, and cheese. After the combined mixture drains, it's time to fill your egg rolls. If you've never made egg rolls before—no stress! It's not as difficult as it may seem. Follow our video to watch the step-by-step process. The most important thing is to be gentle.
Once you've filled all of your egg rolls, it's time to fry. Fry for 2-3 minutes, until golden, then transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to soak up any extra grease. Serve with ketchup, mustard or your fave burger sauce, and get ready to dunk.
Top tips:
-Prefer turkey burgers? Swap out the ground beef for ground turkey, or ground pork if you'd prefer a more classic egg roll.
- Don't skip draining your meat mixture before filling your egg roll wrappers! Otherwise, you may get a soggy egg roll that won't crisp up, and we don't want that.
- Customize it! If you're not a bacon fan, skip it. Add in diced tomatoes and leave out the onions if you prefer. Big Mac fan? Make the special sauce to dip these babies in.
- Want to skip the frying? Make this filling with our air fryer egg rolls instead.
