All the crave-worthy flavor of a classic cheeseburger, wrapped up in a golden, crunchy egg roll.
Few things spark a smile quite like a good cheeseburger—juicy beef, melted cheese, tangy pickles, and sweet ketchup, all wrapped in a soft bun. Now imagine taking all that flavor and encasing it in a crispy, crackling egg roll wrapper. There you have cheeseburger egg rolls, an irresistible mash-up of two beloved comfort foods that are sure to disappear faster than you can fry them.
Cheeseburger egg rolls might sound over-the-top at first, but the idea is brilliantly simple: take everything you love about a cheeseburger, mix it together, roll it up tight, and fry until golden. The first bite gives you that satisfying crunch, then comes the savory beef, melty cheese, and all the customizable toppings you want.
Whether you’re making a big batch for game-day snacks, serving them up as a party appetizer, or just treating yourself to something indulgent for dinner, these egg rolls are a guaranteed hit. Just be prepared, because once you’ve had them, you might never look at a plain old burger the same way again.
How to make cheeseburger egg rolls your own
One of the coolest things about cheeseburger egg rolls is how customizable they are. Are you team pickle? Chop a few up and mix them right into the beef. Want extra flavor? A spoonful of Dijon mustard or ketchup adds that classic burger zing. Love bacon on your burger? Crisp some up, crumble it in, and thank us later.
Don’t stop there! Try mixing in diced tomatoes, a few jalapeño slices for a spicy kick, or even a sprinkle of sesame seeds for a nod to that classic sesame burger bun. The only limit is your own burger imagination.
How do I store leftovers?
If you somehow have a few of these crispy bites left (unlikely, but it happens), you’re in luck—they keep well! Cooked cheeseburger egg rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 or 4 days. To reheat, pop them in a hot oven or air fryer for a few minutes to revive that crispy exterior.
Want to prep ahead? Freeze uncooked egg rolls by arranging them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freezing until firm. Transfer them to a freezer bag and keep them frozen for up to 3–4 months. When ready to cook, fry them straight from frozen—just add a minute or two to the cook time.
Serving suggestions
These crispy cheeseburger egg rolls are even better with classic burger sides. Serve them up with homemade Coleslaw and Steak Fries for a familiar combo. Or try Air-Fryer Sweet Potato Fries or Butternut Squash Fries for a tasty twist. Don’t forget a side of Burger Sauce for dipping!
And the next time a cheeseburger craving hits, you may want to try a Cheeseburger Wrap, Cheeseburger Chowder, or Cheeseburger Sliders.
