Cheeseburger Egg Rolls: Tips, Tricks & Servings
Cheeseburger egg rolls are a fun and flavorful twist on the classic cheeseburger, combining juicy beef, gooey cheese, and crispy egg roll wrappers.
These crunchy delights are perfect for parties, game nights, or as an appetizer. Below are some essential tips, tricks, and serving ideas to make the best cheeseburger egg rolls.
Tips for the Best Cheeseburger Egg Rolls
1. Use High-Quality Ingredients
- Ground Beef: Opt for 80/20 ground beef for a juicy and flavorful filling. Leaner beef can make the filling dry.
- Cheese: Classic American cheese melts beautifully, but shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack work well too.
- Egg Roll Wrappers: Use fresh egg roll wrappers for the best texture. Stale wrappers may crack while rolling.
2. Seasoning is Key
- Add onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the beef while cooking for a rich, savory flavor.
- A little mustard and ketchup in the mixture enhances the cheeseburger taste.
3. Drain Excess Grease
- After browning the beef, drain excess grease to prevent a soggy filling. This helps the egg rolls stay crisp.
4. Don’t Overfill the Wrappers
- Use about 2 tablespoons of filling per egg roll to ensure they roll up neatly and don’t burst during frying.
5. Properly Seal the Egg Rolls
- Use a beaten egg or water along the edges of the wrapper to seal them tightly. This prevents them from opening while frying.
6. Fry for the Perfect Crisp
- Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry until golden brown (about 3–4 minutes per side). Too low of a temperature will make them greasy, while too high may burn them before the inside is fully heated.
- If using an air fryer, spray lightly with oil and cook at 375°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway.
7. Let Them Rest
- Allow egg rolls to rest on a wire rack instead of paper towels to keep them crispy.
Serving Tricks & Dipping Sauces
1. Classic Cheeseburger Style
- Serve with a side of pickles, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes for a full cheeseburger experience.
2. Best Dipping Sauces
- Special Sauce: Mix mayo, ketchup, mustard, relish, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce.
- Spicy Ketchup: Add sriracha or hot sauce to ketchup for a kick.
- Ranch or BBQ Sauce: Both pair well with the crispy texture.
3. Make It a Meal
- Serve with fries, onion rings, or coleslaw for a fun and filling meal.
Servings & Storage
- Servings: This recipe makes about 12 egg rolls, serving 4–6 people as an appetizer.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
