# Ingredients:
→ For the filling
01 -
1 pound ground beef or turkey
02 -
1 small onion, finely chopped
03 -
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
04 -
¼ cup ketchup
05 -
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
06 -
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
07 -
Salt and pepper to taste
→ For assembly and frying
08 -
12-15 egg roll wrappers
09 -
1 large egg, beaten (for sealing)
10 -
Vegetable oil for deep frying
# Instructions:
01 -
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and chopped onion together, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Drain any excess fat from the pan.
02 -
Stir in the cheddar cheese, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook until the cheese is completely melted and incorporated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
03 -
Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center of each egg roll wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, then roll tightly toward the top corner. Seal the edge with beaten egg.
04 -
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). The oil should be deep enough to cover the egg rolls.
05 -
Carefully place egg rolls in the hot oil, a few at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy all around.
06 -
Remove egg rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or special sauce.
# Notes:
01 -
These are perfect party appetizers that combine all the flavors of a classic cheeseburger in a crispy wrapper.
02 -
For extra burger flavor, add diced pickles to the filling or serve with pickle slices on the side.
03 -
Make sure the filling is completely cooled before assembling to prevent the wrappers from getting soggy.
04 -
You can bake these at 400°F for 15-20 minutes if you prefer not to deep fry, though they won't be quite as crispy.
