Ingredients
Scale
Cheeseburger Filling
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced pickles
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Assembly
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Cooking spray or oil for misting
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat to prevent greasiness in the final dish.
- Mix the Filling: Add shredded cheddar cheese, diced pickles, onions, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper to the cooked beef. Stir everything together until all ingredients are well combined and the cheese starts to melt slightly.
- Assemble Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cheeseburger mixture into the center of the wrapper.
- Fold & Seal: Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly and roll up the wrapper firmly. Moisten the edge with water to seal and prevent the egg roll from opening during cooking.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.
- Cook the Egg Rolls: Lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray or oil to promote browning. Arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Serve: Remove the egg rolls from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with additional ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
- Ensure the beef is drained well to avoid soggy egg rolls.
- Seal egg rolls tightly to prevent filling from leaking during cooking.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer; cook in batches if necessary for even crispness.
- Customize the filling by adding cooked bacon or jalapenos for extra flavor.
- For a crispy texture, flipping midway through cooking is essential.
- Use water or beaten egg to seal the wrappers securely.
