Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

This time shredded cheese was added to our air fryer ground beef recipe, that is optional of course. If you are lactose intolerant or need a dairy free option you wouldn't need that. Sharp cheddar is a wonderful add in though.

This is what was used this go around that you'll need to get ready;

1. Either ground beef or spicy sausage is incredible too
2. Wrappers
3. Onion powder
4. Cheddar cheese is optional
5. Dill relish or finely diced and chopped homemade pickles
6. Could dice half an onion and add that when browning meat
7. Worcestershire sauce
8. Small bowl
9. Baking sheet or large air fryer with olive oil spray

If you wanted to make more of a Korean egg roll you could add some thick teriyaki sauce into the mix as well. Or just use that as a dipping sauce at the end. Onion and garlic, minced, are great add ins as well.

Once you brown your meat you can toss everything else together and start folding like a present. If you've never prepared them it's quite easy. Just spoon 2 heaping tablespoonful in the center and roll up the bottom over the top.

Then fold the sides of the egg roll wrapper over the beef mixture and roll all the way up. Dip your fingers in a bit of water to wipe at the very end on the underside to seal up well.

You definitely don't want it to unravel no matter what method of cooking you decide to use. That will be a real mess.

Cheeseburger Egg Rolls Recipe

What is the difference between an egg roll and a vegetable roll?

The first most always contains meat. Similar to air fryer frozen egg rolls these have precooked beef inside. The latter has just cabbage, carrots, celery, and may have some tofu but are vegetarian.

Why do they call them egg rolls?

Well nobody knows absolutely for sure but it may be because homemade wrappers contain egg in them. In an old Chinese cookbook it calls for wrapping ingredients inside a thin egg omelette. Who knows.

If you are making fried egg rolls submerged in oil make sure you have a wad of paper towels. You will want to lay them on top so the excess can be absorbed and the outsides stay nice and crispy.

Time needed:6 minutes.

Ground Beef Egg Rolls

1. Prepare

   If air frying preheat machine to 360 degrees for 5 minutes. If you are frying them in oil, add that into a pan on medium high heat.

   Cook ground beef on stovetop until browned, then drain grease and add into a bowl seasonings, dill relish and W. sauce.

   Place egg roll wrappers one at a time on a cutting board so it looks like a diamond. Put 2 tbsp of mixture in the center.

   Fold the bottom corner over the mix and roll once, fold sides in and then roll all the way up so it is sealed. Before rolling all the way up use your finger to put a bit of water at the very end on the underside so it sticks and seals well.

2. Cook

   Place inside air fryer basket and spray outside with olive oil spray. Cook for 6 minutes flipping over halfway through the time.

   If frying inside oil, pinch a bit of wrapper off and put into it. If it immediately fries then it is hot enough to begin cooking.

   Put a few in a time, turn over when golden brown and place on paper towels.

This is how they should look either way you make them. Frying will make them a bit browner.

What goes good on egg rolls?

Like I said, we make these and air fryer potstickers all the time. I use the same sort of sauces for all of them;

• Soy sauce is a given
• Garlic chili sauce has a bit of tang and sweetness
• Sriracha for heat
• Wasabi
• Hot mustard
• My kids actually like using our bang bang shrimp sauce

If you are making this like a cheeseburger or sloppy joe egg rolls, then you might go the route of ketchup and yellow mustard.

Looking for other ideas to make that use these a similar wrapping technique? Try these other goodies:

• Air fryer empenadas are similar but have more Mexican flavors
• For dessert you can make our cheesecake egg rolls with cherry pie filling inside
• Using smaller versions of this you can make air fryer won tons like you see here below. I used the same meat, cole slaw cabbage mix and teriyaki sauce. Super easy to throw together but tastes similar to a restaurant.

What is the best way to reheat egg rolls?

Remove from fridge and for best results allow to come to room temperature. Best method is to again use your air fryer at 400 degrees F for 4 minutes flipping after 2. Alternatively you can deep fry for a few min.
