Okay, picture this: it’s Friday night, you’re craving a cheeseburger, but you also want something a little different, a little *fun*. That’s exactly how these Cheeseburger Spring Rolls were born. They’re seriously the perfect marriage of crispy, crunchy, and juicy, savory deliciousness. Honestly, think of it as a grown-up, slightly more sophisticated, but just as satisfying, version of a classic burger and fries… but in spring roll form! I remember the first time I made these, my whole family went absolutely bonkers. The kids couldn’t get enough, and even my husband, who’s usually a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy, was sneaking extra rolls off the plate. They’re so good and a fun twist of a traditional dish.

What are cheeseburger spring rolls?

So, what exactly *are* Cheeseburger Spring Rolls? It’s essentially all the best parts of a classic cheeseburger – seasoned ground beef, melty cheese (I’m a cheddar girl myself, but you do you!), maybe a little bit of finely diced onion and pickles – all wrapped up in a crispy, golden-brown spring roll wrapper. Think of it as a deconstructed cheeseburger, reimagined for dipping and munching. It’s comfort food with a playful twist, and honestly, it’s just plain fun to eat. The name? Well, it says it all! It’s a cheeseburger filling inside a spring roll wrapper!

Why you’ll love this recipe?

Okay, where do I even begin? First and foremost, the *flavor* is out of this world. You get that savory, meaty, cheesy goodness you crave from a cheeseburger, but with the added textural delight of that crispy spring roll wrapper. It’s a symphony of deliciousness in every bite! What I love most about this recipe is how surprisingly *easy* it is to make. Seriously, don’t let the “spring roll” part intimidate you. If you can cook ground beef and fold a burrito, you can absolutely nail this. And did I mention it’s *budget-friendly*? Ground beef is a pretty economical protein, and the other ingredients are pantry staples. Plus, it’s incredibly *versatile*. I’ve served these as appetizers for parties, snacks for game night, and even as a fun and different weeknight dinner. They’re always a hit!

Quick Overview

Making these little flavor bombs is easier than you think! You basically cook up your cheeseburger filling – ground beef, cheese, onions, pickles, all that good stuff. Then you just wrap it all up in spring roll wrappers and fry ’em until they’re golden and crispy. The key is to not overfill the wrappers and to make sure they’re sealed tight. Trust me, it’s simpler than it sounds, and the results are totally worth it! The best part? They cook up so fast and that satisfying crunch and melty cheesiness will keep you coming back for more.

Ingredients

For the Filling:

• What is the best ground beef flavor?
• 1/2 cup finely diced onion (yellow or white works great)

• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (this adds so much umami): (I use this every time)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder per teaspoon.
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste.

For the Spring Rolls: What are some examples?

• 20-25 spring roll wrappers (make sure to keep them covered with a damp towel to prevent them from sticking).

• Vegetable oil, for frying (or any high-heat oil)

For Serving (Optional but Highly Recommended):

• Ketchup
• Mustard
• Burger sauce
• What is your favorite thing to put on a burger?

What are the steps to

Step 1: Cook the Beef

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease. I always do this – it helps keep the spring rolls from getting soggy.

Step 2: Add the Flavor

Stir in the diced onion and pickles. Cook for a few minutes until the onion is softened. Then, stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder and salt. Give it a good mix to combine all those delicious flavors!

Step 3: Cheese It Up

How do I stir shredded cheese into a skillet? Is it possible to add milk to make cheese more creamy? I tested this with almond milk and it actually made it even creamier!

Step 4: Get Ready to Roll

Lay out a spring roll wrapper on sanitized surface. Keep the rest of the wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out. What are the best ways to avoid dried out wrappers?

Step 5: Fill ‘Em Up

Place a couple of tablespoons of cheeseburger filling in the center of the wrapper. Don’t overfill! You want to be able to roll them up without them bursting. What is a common mistake that I have made? The amount depends on the size of your spring roll wrappers.

Step 6: Roll ‘Em Up

Fold the sides of the wrapper in towards the center, then tightly roll up from the bottom. Use the beaten egg to seal the edge of the wrapper. This is what keeps everything nice and secure. Make sure to press the seal well!

Step 7: Fry ‘Em Up

Heat about an inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Carefully place the spring rolls in the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. I always watch them like a hawk – they can burn quickly!

Step 8: Drain and Serve

Remove the spring rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any oil. Serve immediately with your favorite burger dipping sauces. What are the possibilities for a burger sauce?

Top Tips for Perfecting Your Cheeseburger Spring Rolls

Alright, listen up! I’ve made these Cheeseburger Spring Rolls countless times, and I’ve learned a few tricks along the way. Here’s my hard-earned wisdom to help you achieve spring roll perfection!

Don’t Overfill: I know it’s tempting to stuff those wrappers to the max, but trust me, it’s a recipe for disaster. Overfilled spring rolls are more likely to burst during frying, resulting in a greasy mess. Stick to a couple of tablespoons of filling per wrapper, and you’ll be golden.

Seal ‘Em Tight: That beaten egg is your best friend when it comes to sealing those wrappers. Make sure to brush it generously along the edges to create a strong seal. This will prevent the filling from escaping and keep those spring rolls nice and crispy.

Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: When frying, resist the urge to overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding will lower the oil temperature, resulting in soggy, greasy spring rolls. Fry them in batches, giving them plenty of room to get golden and crispy.

Temperature is Key: The oil temperature is crucial for achieving that perfect crispy texture. You want the oil hot enough to cook the spring rolls quickly, but not so hot that they burn. Aim for around 350°F (175°C).

Get Creative with the Cheese: Cheddar is my go-to, but feel free to experiment with different cheeses! Pepper jack, mozzarella, or even a blend of cheeses would be delicious. I have had great success with provolone!

Spice It Up: Add a pinch of Red Pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the filling for a little kick. My husband loves it when I do this!

Make Ahead: You can assemble the spring rolls ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just make sure to keep them covered with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out. I always do this when I am having people over!

Storing and Reheating Tips

Okay, so you’ve made a batch of these amazing Cheeseburger Spring Rolls, and you have leftovers (if you’re lucky!). Here’s how to store them properly so you can enjoy them later.

Room Temperature: I wouldn’t recommend leaving them at room temperature for more than a couple of hours. After that, they’re best stored in the refrigerator.

Refrigerator Storage: Store the cooled spring rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure they’re completely cooled before storing them, or they’ll get soggy.

Freezer Instructions: For longer storage, you can freeze the spring rolls. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Reheating: To reheat, you can bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and crispy. You can also reheat them in an air fryer for a few minutes. For a quicker option, you can microwave them, but they won’t be as crispy.

Glaze Timing Advice: If you’re planning to store the spring rolls, I recommend waiting to add the glaze until right before serving. This will prevent the glaze from getting sticky or dissolving during storage.
