How to Make Cheeseburger Egg Rolls in the Air Fryer

For the Egg Rolls:

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, crumbling it as it cooks.
2. Once cooked through, drain the beef and return it to the skillet.
3. Add ketchup, mustard, seasoned salt, onion powder, and garlic powder to the skillet, stirring to coat the meat. Cook over low heat.
4. Place cheese slices over the meat mixture, cover the skillet, and let sit for 3-4 minutes to melt the cheese. Then, add chopped pickles and stir to combine.
5. Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the cheeseburger mixture into each egg roll wrapper. Fold in each side and then roll up tightly. Seal the egg rolls closed by brushing water onto the top corner of the wrapper.
6. Lightly spritz each egg roll with oil spray.
7. Place the egg rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring space between each egg roll for air circulation. You may need to cook in batches.
8. Cook at 390°F for 7 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through cooking.

For the Dipping Sauce:

1. Whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, dill pickle juice, and seasoned salt until well combined.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the hot cheeseburger egg rolls with the dipping sauce on the side for dipping. These egg rolls are perfect for serving as an appetizer at parties, game day gatherings, or as a fun dinner option for the family. Pair them with a side of crispy fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Storage Info

Any leftover cheeseburger egg rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them in the air fryer and cook at 350°F for a few minutes until heated through and crispy.

Some Techniques or Tips

• Be sure to seal the egg rolls tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
• Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket, as this can prevent proper air circulation and result in unevenly cooked egg rolls. Cook them in batches if necessary.

FAQs about Cheeseburger Egg Rolls in the Air Fryer

1. Can I use a different type of cheese in the egg rolls? Yes, feel free to customize the cheeseburger egg rolls with your favorite cheese. Cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack would all be delicious options.
2. Can I make these egg rolls ahead of time and freeze them? Yes, you can assemble the egg rolls ahead of time and freeze them before air frying. Place the assembled egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid, then transfer them to a freezer bag for long-term storage. When ready to cook, air fry them straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
3. Can I bake these egg rolls in the oven instead of using an air fryer? Yes, you can bake the egg rolls in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Be sure to flip them halfway through baking for even browning.
