These crispy cheeseburger egg rolls combine savory seasoned beef, melty sharp cheddar cheese, and a tangy special sauce wrapped in a golden, crunchy egg roll wrapper. Perfect for quick dinners, snacks, or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 preferred)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 4 oz)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup diced dill pickles (about 40 g)
  • 12 large egg roll wrappers
  • Vegetable oil, for frying (enough to fill about 2 inches deep in pan)
  • Special sauce:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (120 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (30 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish (30 g)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (5 ml)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, for 6-8 minutes until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat if needed. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cooked beef, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced green onions, and diced dill pickles. Stir gently to mix evenly without mashing the cheese.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, sweet pickle relish, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Chill until ready to serve.
  4. Place one egg roll wrapper on a clean flat surface with one corner pointing toward you. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the beef and cheese mixture near the corner closest to you. Add about 1 teaspoon of the special sauce on top of the filling.
  5. Fold the corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly toward the opposite corner. Seal the edge with a little water using your finger. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Carefully place 3-4 egg rolls into the hot oil, frying in batches if needed. Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  8. Serve warm with extra special sauce for dipping.

Notes

Use fresh, pliable egg roll wrappers to prevent tearing. Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for best results. Special sauce tastes better after chilling for at least 30 minutes. Egg rolls can be baked at 425°F for 15-20 minutes as a lighter alternative. Freeze assembled egg rolls on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag; fry from frozen adding extra cooking time.
