Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1 cup (120 g) cheddar cheese, shredded
- 12–15 egg roll wrappers
- ½ cup (75 g) onion, diced
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup (60 ml) ketchup
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- pickles, diced
- lettuce, shredded
- tomato, diced
- salt and pepper to taste
- water for sealing
- vegetable oil for frying
- ketchup (for dipping)
- mustard (for dipping)
- special sauce (mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle relish)
Instructions
- Meat Preparation: Sear ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, systematically breaking it down until achieving a rich, caramelized texture. Drain excess grease thoroughly.
- Flavor Development: Integrate onions and garlic powder into the meat, allowing them to meld and intensify for 3-4 minutes. Splash in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper, stirring to create a cohesive flavor profile.
- Filling Composition: Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Gently fold in shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring uniform distribution throughout the savory mixture.
- Wrapping Technique: Position egg roll wrapper diagonally, placing a generous portion of cheeseburger filling at the center. Fold bottom point over the mixture, tuck side edges inward, and roll tightly, sealing the final corner with a light water brush.
- Frying Process: Heat vegetable oil to 350°F in a deep skillet. Carefully submerge egg rolls in small batches, frying 2-3 minutes per side until achieving a crisp, golden-brown exterior.
- Finishing Touch: Transfer egg rolls to paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with preferred dipping sauces, presenting a crispy, flavor-packed appetizer that marries classic cheeseburger elements with a crunchy wrapper.
Notes
- Drain Meat Thoroughly: Remove excess fat completely to prevent soggy egg rolls and ensure a crisp, clean texture.
- Control Oil Temperature: Maintain consistent 350°F oil heat for even, golden-brown frying without greasy or burnt edges.
- Seal Edges Carefully: Use water or egg wash to create tight seals, preventing filling leakage during deep-frying.
- Customize Dietary Needs: Substitute ground beef with turkey or plant-based alternatives for healthier or vegetarian versions.
