Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup onion finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Optional: pickles chopped (for inside or serving)
  • Dipping sauce: Thousand Island dressing or burger sauce

Method
 

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion until the beef is fully browned and the onion is soft. Drain excess fat.
  2. Stir in ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until well combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped pickles if using, until evenly combined.
  4. Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 2–3 tablespoons of the cheeseburger mixture in the center of each wrapper.
  5. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll up tightly. Seal the edge with a dab of water.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve warm with Thousand Island dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Keep egg roll wrappers covered with a damp towel while working to prevent drying out.
  • Use lean ground beef and drain well to avoid soggy filling.
  • Don’t overfill wrappers—2 to 3 tablespoons is perfect for sealing tightly.
  • Let oil return to temperature between batches for consistent frying.
  • Try serving with dipping sauces like sriracha mayo, smoky BBQ, or classic burger sauce for variety.
