Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 pound (1 lb) ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup pickles, diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Egg Roll Components:
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- Cooking spray or oil for coating
- Ketchup for dipping
- Mustard for dipping
Instructions
- Sizzle ground beef and finely chopped onion in a skillet over medium heat until meat browns and onions soften, approximately 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease thoroughly.
- Incorporate garlic powder, mustard, diced pickles, salt, and pepper into the meat mixture. Stir until seasonings evenly distribute. Remove from heat and fold in shredded cheddar cheese, allowing residual warmth to slightly melt the cheese.
- Position egg roll wrapper diagonally on clean surface. Spoon beef mixture into center of wrapper. Fold bottom corner over filling, tuck side edges inward, and roll tightly. Seal final corner using water to secure closure. Repeat for remaining wrappers.
- Preheat air fryer to 380°F. Lightly coat egg rolls with cooking spray or olive oil for enhanced crispiness. Arrange rolls in single layer within air fryer basket, ensuring no contact between rolls. Cook 8-10 minutes, rotating midway to guarantee uniform golden-brown exterior.
- Remove crispy egg rolls from air fryer. Plate immediately and serve with ketchup and mustard for dipping. Savor these inventive cheeseburger-inspired appetizers while hot and crunchy.
Notes
- Experiment with lean ground beef or turkey for a lighter version that still packs incredible flavor.
- Use low-fat cheese to reduce calories without compromising the delicious cheesy taste.
- Consider gluten-free egg roll wrappers for those with wheat sensitivities, ensuring everyone can enjoy this tasty treat.
- Add extra chopped pickles or a dash of Worcestershire sauce to enhance the classic cheeseburger profile and create more depth in the filling.
