Ingredients
- For the Filling:
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For Assembly and Frying:
- 12–15 egg roll wrappers
- 1 large egg (beaten, for sealing)
- Vegetable oil (for deep frying)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and chopped onion together, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Drain any excess fat from the pan.
- Stir in the cheddar cheese, ketchup, mustard, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook until the cheese is completely melted and incorporated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center of each egg roll wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, then roll tightly toward the top corner. Seal the edge with the beaten egg.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). The oil should be deep enough to cover the egg rolls.
- Carefully place egg rolls in the hot oil, a few at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy all around.
- Remove egg rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or special sauce.
Notes
- For a healthier version, you can bake the egg rolls at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until crispy, turning halfway through.
- Feel free to experiment with different cheeses such as American or Swiss for a unique twist.
- You can add pickles or relish to the filling for an extra cheeseburger flavor.
