Cheeseburger Egg Rolls Crispy Bites (Ready-to-Print Version)

Crispy egg rolls packed with juicy ground beef, cheddar, and classic burger flavors. Great for parties or snacking.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Filling

01 - 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
02 - 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
03 - 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
04 - 2 tablespoons ketchup
05 - 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
06 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
07 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
08 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Assembly

09 - 14 egg roll wrappers (about 6 x 6 inches each)
10 - 1 large egg, beaten (for sealing)

→ Frying

11 - 4 cups vegetable oil (for deep frying)

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Brown ground beef and chopped onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up meat until cooked through. Drain off excess fat.
02 - Reduce heat to low. Stir in shredded cheddar, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until cheese is fully melted and mixture is cohesive.
03 - Remove skillet from heat and allow filling to cool for 10 minutes. Cooling prevents wrappers from becoming soggy during assembly.
04 - Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface with a corner facing you. Place 2 tablespoons of filling near the center. Fold bottom corner over filling, then fold in both sides. Roll tightly, sealing the top edge with beaten egg. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
05 - Pour vegetable oil into a deep fryer or heavy Dutch oven to a depth of 2 inches. Heat oil to 350°F, monitoring with a thermometer for accuracy.
06 - Carefully place a few egg rolls at a time in the hot oil. Fry 2–3 minutes per side, turning as needed, until golden brown and crisp. Do not crowd the pan.
07 - Transfer cooked rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with burger-style dipping sauces as desired.

# Handy Tips:

01 - Allow the filling to cool fully before assembly to maintain the crispness of the wrappers.
02 - Test fry one roll first to verify oil temperature and crispness before frying the full batch.
03 - Seal all edges with egg wash to prevent leaks during frying.
04 - Freeze uncooked egg rolls in a single layer before storing in a freezer bag for longer shelf life; fry directly from frozen, adding one to two minutes to cook time.
