These crispy cheeseburger egg rolls combine juicy ground beef, melty cheddar, and tangy pickles wrapped in a crunchy egg roll shell, served with a homemade tangy Thousand Island dipping sauce. Perfect as a quick snack or party appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 4 oz)
  • 1/4 cup finely diced dill pickles
  • 1 small yellow or white onion, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • About 12 egg roll wrappers
  • About 2 cups vegetable or canola oil for frying
  • For the Thousand Island sauce:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon dill pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and chopped onion, breaking the meat apart as it cooks. Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the mixture. Cook until beef is browned and onions are soft, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat and let cool slightly.
  2. Transfer beef mixture to a bowl. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese and diced pickles until evenly combined.
  3. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (diamond shape). Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp cloth.
  4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling near the corner closest to you. Fold the corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly, sealing the far corner with a dab of water. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  5. Pour vegetable oil into a deep frying pan or pot about 2 inches deep. Heat over medium-high until oil reaches 350°F (175°C).
  6. Fry 3-4 egg rolls at a time until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Turn gently with tongs or slotted spoon. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  7. While frying, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  8. Serve the crispy cheeseburger egg rolls warm with the tangy Thousand Island sauce for dipping.

Notes

Do not overfill the egg roll wrappers to prevent bursting during frying. Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for best results. For a healthier option, bake at 425°F for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in an oven to retain crispness. Egg rolls can be assembled and frozen before frying.
