  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Filling

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Wrapper

  • 1 package egg roll wrappers
  • Water (for sealing wrappers)
  • Oil for frying (about 1/2 inch in skillet)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves to prepare for cooking.
  2. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until onions are translucent and fragrant, forming the aromatic base of the filling.
  3. Cook Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Cook and crumble the beef thoroughly until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes, ensuring an even texture.
  4. Add Seasonings: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the cooked beef mixture. Mix well to fully combine the flavors.
  5. Prepare Filling: Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the beef mixture to a bowl. Allow it to cool slightly, then fold in the shredded cheddar cheese evenly so it melts slightly but retains texture.
  6. Wrap Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Lightly wet the edges with water. Place a spoonful of the beef and cheese filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly. Seal the top edge with water to hold the wrapper together securely.
  7. Fry Egg Rolls: Heat enough oil in a clean skillet over medium-high heat to cover the bottom by about 1/2 inch. Carefully place the prepared egg rolls in the hot oil. Fry each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy, turning carefully to cook evenly.
  8. Drain and Serve: Remove the fried egg rolls from the skillet and place them on a napkin-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm and enjoy the delicious crispy cheeseburger twists.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños to the beef mixture.
  • You can bake the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes instead of frying for a healthier option.
  • Make sure the beef mixture is not too hot before wrapping to prevent the egg roll wrappers from tearing.
  • Use a toothpick to secure the rolls if needed, but remove before serving.
  • Serve with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor.
