This cheeseburger egg rolls recipe is guaranteed to make the most irresistibly savory and fulfilling finger food you’ve had in a long time. This tasty fusion snack with juicy ground beef, melted cheese, and pickles, stuffed in crispy rolls, can be an easy appetizer to serve on many occasions.

Are Cheeseburger Egg Rolls Healthy?

This recipe brings together two delicious favorites that are often questioned for fat content. Flavor-wise, these cheeseburger egg rolls taste like fast-food cheeseburgers with a crispy coating, but you take control over what’s going into them.

The ingredients for the filling are simple and fresh, and the nutritional values are kept within the recommended daily limits. So, for people who follow no specific diet, we believe there’s nothing unsatisfactory about them.

Ingredients for Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

  • Ground beef

Lean ground beef is always our first choice; we simply love the rich beefy flavor that can take any simple dish and amp up the flavor and satisfaction. The spice mix of ground black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder also lends more depth of flavor to the beef as it cooks.

But the rules aren’t so strict with this recipe. You can try mixing some bacon crumbs in these cheeseburger egg rolls, or use either ground pork or turkey as substitutes if that’s what you have on hand.

  • Spring roll wrappers

There are two common types of wrappers for rolls: spring roll wrappers that are made of rice flour and egg roll wrappers that are made of white flour. Both of them are similar in shape but different in texture.

ingredients

Spring roll wrappers are typically thinner and result in super crispy rolls, while egg roll wrappers are thicker and a bit chewier. So it’s all up to you and what you fancy for this recipe.

  • Cheddar cheese for cheeseburger egg rolls

Shredded cheddar cheese adds a creamy, salty touch to the dish. It’s the best all-rounder cheese but other types of cheese you could choose from include provolone, pepper jack, or Monterey Jack.

  • Pickles

We added a small number of dill pickles to the cheeseburger filling to lend a classic tangy flavor to our rolls. You can also play around and add other produce to the filling if desired, for example, try adding diced tomatoes or shredded cabbage for a little extra crunch.

To spice it up some more, you can also add pickles to the dipping sauce.

How to Store and Reheat The Leftover

Leftover cheeseburger egg rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. After sitting in the fridge, these rolls will absorb moisture and lose their crispiness; to get it back, simply pop them in the air fryer or oven to crisp up before serving.

We don’t recommend freezing cooked rolls, as the wrapper won’t hold up well when thawed (think gooey, unappealing slop of a mixed filling and torn wrapper.)

Only uncooked egg rolls are freezer-safe. They can be stored in airtight containers for up to 3 months in the freezer. Thaw them overnight in the fridge before cooking and you’ll be all good.

If you want to enjoy these rolls throughout the day, for example at parties and gatherings, simply keep them warm in the oven on the lowest setting so you’ll have them hot and ready anytime you feel like taking a bite.
