Ingredient Notes

Ground beef (1 lb): Classic base—lean works best. You can use ground turkey or plant-based beef substitute if desired.
Onion soup mix (1 oz): Easy seasoning packet; enhances flavor. Sub mayo + garlic powder + onion powder if needed.
Worcestershire sauce (2 tsp): Adds rich umami depth.
Dijon mustard (1 Tbsp): Gives tanginess and balances the mayo. Yellow mustard is okay in a pinch.
Mayonnaise (½ cup): Binds and smooths the filling.
Cheddar cheese (1 cup shredded): Melty, mild cheddar works great; you can mix in mozzarella or pepper jack.
Egg roll wrappers (17–20): Want crisp? Keep them covered so they don’t dry out.
Oil for frying: Neutral-flavored—vegetable, peanut, or light olive oil works best.
Fry sauce: Mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and optional sriracha make an irresistible dip.

How To Make Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

Cook beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown and crumble 1 lb ground beef until no pink shows. Drain fat.
Season beef: Return beef to heat. Stir in ½ packet onion soup mix, 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, and 1 Tbsp Dijon. Remove from heat.
Finish filling: Stir in ½ cup mayonnaise and 1 cup cheddar cheese. Let cool slightly (helps wrappers hold shape).
Prep oil: In a high‑sided skillet, pour 1½ inches of oil. Heat over medium until ~350 °F.
Roll egg rolls: Place 2–3 Tbsp filling in center of wrapper. Fold edges in, roll tightly, seal edge with water. Keep them covered.
Fry: Fry a few at a time, about 2 minutes per side, until light golden. They darken after resting, so don’t overbake. Drain on paper towels.
Make sauce: Whisk together ¾ cup mayo, ½ cup ketchup, 1–2 Tbsp mustard, and squirts of sriracha. Adjust to taste.
Serve: Plate sides, dip in fry sauce, and enjoy hot!

Storage Options

Room temperature: Eat right away—too long and wrappers become soggy.
Refrigerator: Store cooled egg rolls in airtight container up to 2 days. Reheat in oven or air fryer until crisp.
Freezing: Freeze after frying in sealed bag for up to 1 month. Reheat from frozen in oven or air fryer until hot.
Reheating tips: Air‑fry at 375 °F for 3–5 min, flipping halfway. Avoid microwave to maintain crisp.

Variations and Substitutions

Mini size: Use sandwich-size wrappers for party appetizers; fry 1–2 min per side.
