Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 4 slices of bacon
• 1/2 white onion, diced
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup diced pickles or pickle relish
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar works best)
• 15 to 20 egg roll or wonton wrappers
• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil recommended)

Preparation Method

1. Fry bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside.
2. In the bacon grease, sauté diced onion and minced garlic until translucent.
3. Add ground beef, breaking it into crumbles. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and drain excess fat.
4. Chop cooled bacon and add to beef along with diced pickles and shredded cheese. Mix well and let cool slightly.
5. Prepare sealing paste by mixing cornstarch and water. Lay an egg roll wrapper with a corner facing you and brush edges with the paste.
6. Spoon filling onto the wrapper, fold up the bottom corner, fold in sides, and roll tightly. Seal edges with paste if needed. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
7. Heat oil in a skillet to 350°F. Fry egg rolls until golden brown, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels or a cooling rack. Repeat until all are cooked.

Tips and Conclusion

For a lighter option, bake the egg rolls in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. You can also air fry them at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes for a crispy, lower-fat alternative.

Cheeseburger egg rolls are a delightful way to enjoy the best of two worlds. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mustard, or a Big Mac-style sauce made by mixing ketchup, mayonnaise, and pickle relish. Whether as a snack, appetizer, or creative meal, these egg rolls are guaranteed to impress.
