Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Wrapper:
- 1 package spring roll wrappers
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet and gently sauté diced onions with minced garlic until they become soft and aromatic, releasing their delicate flavors.
- Introduce ground beef to the skillet, breaking it into fine crumbles and cooking thoroughly until no pink remains, ensuring complete and even browning.
- Enhance the meat mixture with a vibrant blend of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, creating a rich and complex flavor profile.
- Allow the seasoned beef to cool slightly, then gently incorporate shredded cheddar cheese, allowing the warmth to slightly melt the cheese and create a cohesive filling.
- Prepare spring roll wrappers by laying them flat, moistening edges with water to create a secure seal. Carefully spoon the beef and cheese mixture near one corner, then fold and roll tightly, ensuring a compact and neat package.
- Warm oil in a fresh skillet, creating a golden cooking surface. Carefully place spring rolls into the hot oil, rotating to achieve an even, crispy golden-brown exterior on all sides.
- Transfer the crispy spring rolls to a paper towel-lined plate, allowing excess oil to drain and ensuring a light, non-greasy texture.
- Plate the spring rolls and serve immediately, offering a delightful fusion of cheeseburger flavors in a crispy, portable format.
Notes
- Fusion Flavor Explosion: Combine the classic American cheeseburger with crispy Asian-style spring rolls for an unexpected and mouthwatering appetizer.
- Prep-Ahead Potential: Make the filling and assemble spring rolls in advance, then refrigerate until ready to fry for easy party planning.
- Cheese Melting Magic: Let the beef mixture cool slightly before adding cheese to prevent immediate melting and ensure perfect texture.
- Sealing Secrets: Use water as glue to keep spring roll wrappers tightly sealed and prevent filling from leaking during frying.
- Oil Temperature Tip: Maintain medium-high heat to achieve a golden-brown crispy exterior without burning the wrapper.
- Serving Suggestion: Pair with classic burger condiments like ketchup, mustard, or a zesty dipping sauce for extra flavor punch.
