All the flavor of a cheeseburger — beef, pickles, cheddar, and a swipe of ketchup and mustard — gets rolled up in a crispy egg roll wrapper and fried until golden. It's a fun way to turn a familiar dinner into finger food, and the filling comes together in one skillet before you even start wrapping. Serve a big batch for game day or a casual dinner with dipping sauces on the side.

A cheeseburger-style filling of beef, pickles, and cheddar is rolled in egg roll wrappers and fried until crispy.

Why You'll Love This Recipe

Fast: ready in about 40 minutes (20 min prep, 20 min cook)
Simple: 10 everyday ingredients
Feeds the family: 16 servings
Light: about 228 calories per serving

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 small onion (finely chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup pickles (finely chopped)
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
Salt and pepper (to taste)
12-16 egg roll wrappers
Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the chopped onion and garlic and cook another 3 to 4 minutes until softened; drain any excess fat.
Stir in the chopped pickles, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper, then remove from the heat, let it cool slightly, and mix in the shredded cheddar.
Lay a wrapper in a diamond shape, spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of filling into the center, fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly, sealing the top corner with a little water; repeat with the rest.
Heat 1 to 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C) and fry the egg rolls a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and crisp, then drain on paper towels.
Serve the egg rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauces.

Cooking Tips

Let the filling cool before adding the cheese so it doesn't melt out during rolling.
Don't overfill the wrappers, or they'll be hard to seal and prone to bursting.
Keep the oil at a steady 350°F for the crispest, least greasy result.

Substitutions

Ground turkey can replace beef for a leaner filling.
Swap cheddar for American cheese for an even meltier, classic cheeseburger flavor.
Wonton wrappers can work for smaller, bite-sized versions — just adjust frying time.

Storage

Refrigerate cooked egg rolls in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispness; the microwave will soften the wrapper.
Uncooked, assembled egg rolls freeze well for up to 2 months.
