Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein:
- 1 lb (454 grams) ground beef
- 1 cup (113 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup (40 grams) chopped pickles (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Sauces and Wrappers:
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess fat thoroughly.
- Incorporate diced onions and minced garlic, sautéing for 2 minutes until aromatic and softened.
- Introduce Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper. Simmer the mixture for 1-2 minutes to meld flavors.
- Remove from heat and fold in shredded cheddar cheese and chopped pickles, allowing cheese to slightly melt.
- Position egg roll wrapper diagonally on clean surface. Spoon beef mixture into center of wrapper.
- Fold bottom corner over filling, then fold side corners inward, creating a tight envelope shape.
- Roll wrapper upward, sealing final edge with water to secure closure.
- Heat oil in deep skillet or fryer to 350°F. Carefully place egg rolls into hot oil.
- Fry rolls for 3-4 minutes, rotating periodically to ensure even golden-brown coloration.
- Transfer crispy egg rolls to paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately with complementary condiments like ketchup or mustard for dipping.
Notes
- Chill the beef mixture before assembling egg rolls to prevent wrapper from getting soggy and ensure easier rolling.
- Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease and create a cleaner, lighter filling for the egg rolls.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or Swiss for unique flavor variations that add excitement to the classic cheeseburger profile.
- Pat the beef mixture dry with paper towels to prevent oil splattering during frying and achieve maximum crispiness on the exterior.
