Crispy egg rolls packed with cheesy ground beef and classic burger flavors—great for parties or busy nights.

# List of Ingredients:

→ Filling

01 - 1 pound ground beef, 80% lean
02 - 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
03 - 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
04 - 2 tablespoons ketchup
05 - 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
06 - 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
07 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
08 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Assembly

09 - 12 egg roll wrappers
10 - 1 large egg, beaten

→ For Frying

11 - Vegetable oil, for deep frying (about 1 quart)

# Preparation Steps:

01 - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion, breaking up the meat as it cooks until fully browned. Drain excess grease to keep the filling firm.
02 - Reduce heat to medium. Stir in shredded cheddar, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the cheese is melted and ingredients are evenly blended. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
03 - Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond orientation. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of cooled cheeseburger filling into the center of the wrapper.
04 - Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll up tightly. Brush the top edge lightly with beaten egg to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
05 - In a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F. Use a thermometer to monitor temperature accurately.
06 - Working in batches, fry egg rolls in hot oil for 2–3 minutes per side until all surfaces are golden brown and crisp. Avoid overcrowding to maintain oil temperature.
07 - Transfer fried egg rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with your preferred dipping sauces.

# Additional Suggestions:

01 - Allow the filling to cool before assembling to prevent wrappers from becoming soggy.
02 - Seal all edges well with beaten egg to prevent filling from leaking during frying.
03 - To reheat, use an oven or air fryer to restore crispness; avoid microwaving to prevent soggy wrappers.
04 - Uncooked egg rolls can be frozen; fry from frozen with 1–2 additional minutes cooking time.
05 - For a lighter variation, substitute ground turkey or plant-based ground and experiment with alternative cheeses.
06 - Egg rolls may be baked at 400°F for 15–20 minutes, turning once, as a lower-fat alternative.
