how to make Cheeseburger Egg Rolls
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12-15 egg roll wrappers
- 1 large egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Vegetable oil for deep frying
Directions:
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and chopped onion together, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Drain any excess fat from the pan.
- Stir in the cheddar cheese, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook until the cheese is completely melted and incorporated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center of each egg roll wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and then roll tightly toward the top corner. Seal the edge with beaten egg.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). The oil should be deep enough to cover the egg rolls.
- Carefully place egg rolls in the hot oil, a few at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy all around.
- Remove egg rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or special sauce.

how to store Cheeseburger Egg Rolls
If you have leftover egg rolls, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, you can bake them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until they are heated through and crispy again. You can also freeze uncooked egg rolls for later use; just make sure to wrap them tightly before freezing.

FAQs
1. Can I bake Cheeseburger Egg Rolls instead of frying them?
Yes, you can bake them! Brush them with oil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown.
2. How do I keep the egg rolls crispy after frying?
To keep them crispy, avoid covering them while they cool. Place them on a wire rack instead of paper towels to allow air circulation.
