Ingredients Breakdown
Let’s gather what we need for these delightful Cheeseburger Eggrolls! Here’s a list of the ingredients you’ll need, plus some notes on substitutions if you want to get creative:

How to Make These Cheeseburger Eggrolls
Alright, let’s dive into the cooking! Here’s a step-by-step on how to get these Cheeseburger Eggrolls to your table:
Brown the Beef : In a large skillet over medium heat, cook 1 pound of ground beef until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes. Make sure to break it up into crumbles as it cooks. You’ll know it’s ready when there’s no pink left!
Add Onions and Seasoning : Toss in 1/4 cup diced onion and cook until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Then, stir in 2 teaspoons of garlic powder along with a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Cook until fragrant, just let those delicious smells fill your kitchen!
Mix in the Cheese : Reduce the heat to low and add in 1 cup of shredded cheese. Stir occasionally until it melts and everything is combined beautifully, about 1-2 minutes. It should look drool-worthy at this point!
Assemble the Eggrolls : Place an eggroll wrapper on a flat surface, with a corner pointing towards you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling and then fold the sides inward; finally, roll it up tightly. Make sure the top corner seals the roll. (You can dab a little water on it to help it stick if needed!)
Fry the Eggrolls : In a pot or deep skillet, heat oil over medium heat (about 350°F). Fry a few eggrolls at a time until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Don’t rush this part; the crunch is so important! Remove them and drain on paper towels.
Serve and Enjoy! : Serve hot with a side of sliced pickles, lettuce, and your favorite dipping sauces. Honestly, you’ll want to dive in right away!
