These crispy cheeseburger egg rolls combine a golden, crunchy shell with melty cheese, juicy beef, and a tangy special sauce for a fun and addictive snack or casual meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) ground beef (85% lean recommended)
  • 1 cup (113g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup (40g) finely diced dill pickles
  • 1/4 cup (40g) finely chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Vegetable oil or canola oil, about 4 cups (1 liter) for deep frying
  • 1/2 cup (120g) mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon pickle juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, diced pickles, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until onions soften. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese into the warm beef mixture.
  4. Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you. Keep others covered with a damp towel.
  5. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of beef mixture near the corner closest to you. Fold that corner over the filling, then fold in left and right corners snugly. Roll tightly towards the far corner and brush the edge with beaten egg to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  6. Pour oil into a deep fryer or heavy pot and heat to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Fry 3-4 egg rolls at a time for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels or wire rack.
  8. While frying, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, smoked paprika, pickle juice, salt, and pepper to make the special sauce.
  9. Serve the crispy cheeseburger egg rolls warm with the special sauce on the side.

Notes

Do not overfill egg rolls to prevent bursting during frying. Let filling cool slightly before rolling to avoid soggy wrappers. Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for best results. Fry in small batches to keep oil temperature steady. Use beaten egg to seal wrappers tightly. For extra crispiness, drain on wire rack instead of paper towels.
