Cheesy Beef Egg Rolls

Description

Cheesy Beef Egg Rolls are a crispy, golden-brown appetizer filled with seasoned ground beef, melted cheddar cheese, and a creamy sauce wrapped inside crunchy egg roll wrappers. These delicious rolls combine the flavors of a cheeseburger with the satisfying crunch of fried egg rolls. Perfect for parties, game nights, snacks, or family dinners, they’re easy to make and incredibly addictive.

The rich beef filling paired with gooey cheese creates a flavorful bite that pairs perfectly with dipping sauces like spicy mayo, ranch, or burger sauce.

Ingredients

For the Filling

  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

For the Rolls

  • 10–12 egg roll wrappers

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (extra for filling)

  • ½ cup creamy burger sauce or mayo-based sauce

For Frying

  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1. Cook the Beef

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.

2. Season the Meat

Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes.

3. Prepare the Filling

Remove the beef from heat and let it cool slightly. Mix with shredded cheddar cheese and a little burger sauce.

4. Assemble the Egg Rolls

Lay an egg roll wrapper flat. Add 2–3 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center. Sprinkle extra cheese.

Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, then roll tightly.

5. Fry the Egg Rolls

Heat oil in a pan to about 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls for 3–4 minutes, turning until golden brown and crispy.

6. Drain and Serve

Remove from oil and place on paper towels. Serve hot with dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Do not overfill the wrappers to prevent breaking while frying.

  • Seal the wrapper edges with a little water to keep them closed.

  • You can bake or air fry them for a lighter version.
