Ingredients
Filling
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- ¼ cup diced onion
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 3–4 dill pickle slices, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
To Assemble
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Oil for frying (vegetable or peanut)
Optional Dipping Sauces
- Ketchup
- Mustard
- Special burger sauce or ranch
Instructions
- Cook the Beef:
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and diced onion, cooking until beef is browned and onions are soft. Drain excess fat if needed. - Season the Filling:
Stir in ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce (if using), chopped pickles, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. - Add Cheese:
Fold shredded cheddar into the warm beef mixture so it begins to melt slightly. - Assemble the Eggrolls:
Place one egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with a corner facing you (like a diamond). Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of filling into the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly toward the top corner. Brush the top edge with beaten egg to seal. - Heat the Oil:
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Make sure the oil is deep enough to submerge the eggrolls. - Fry the Eggrolls:
Carefully place 3–4 eggrolls in the hot oil at a time. Fry for 3–5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. - Drain and Serve:
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack or paper towels. Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes
Tips for Perfect Cheeseburger Eggrolls
- Don’t overfill — too much filling can cause the eggroll to burst during frying.
- Seal well with beaten egg to keep them intact.
- Use room-temperature cheese — this helps it melt evenly inside.
- Try an air fryer — for a lighter version, cook at 375°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Prep ahead — assemble rolls and freeze uncooked; fry directly from frozen.
Fun Variations
- Bacon Cheeseburger Eggrolls: Add crispy bacon pieces to the filling for extra indulgence.
- Veggie Lovers: Swap beef for plant-based crumbles and include mushrooms or bell peppers.
- Spicy Kick: Add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
- Cheese Lovers: Mix cheddar and mozzarella for gooey, stretchy cheese.
Serving Suggestions

- Pair with French fries or sweet potato fries for a full “burger” experience.
- Add a side of coleslaw or salad for balance.
- Ideal for game day snacks or movie night finger food.
Storage and Reheating
- Refrigerate: Store cooked eggrolls in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Freeze uncooked assembled eggrolls for up to 2 months. Fry or bake straight from frozen.
- Reheat: Oven or air fryer is best to maintain crispiness; avoid microwaving for long periods.
