How to make these cheeseburger egg rolls
- Step 1: In a large skillet, add ground beef, onion, and dill pickles. Cook until meat is browned and break up any large chunks of meat as it cooks. Drain excess grease.
- Step 2: Add in Worcestershire sauce, salt pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the beef mixture. Stir to combine and remove meat mixture from heat.
- Step 3: Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry work surface with one corner closest to you making a diamond shape, not a square. Use a small amount of water to wet the corners of the wrapper. Take a half slice of cheese and lay it in the center of the wrapper, followed by some cheeseburger filling.
- Step 4: Take the bottom corner of the wrapper and fold it over the egg roll filling. Fold the side corners into the middle and roll the rest of the wrapper tightly towards the top corner. Continue this until all wrappers are filled.
- Step 5: Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray lightly, or brush with olive oil so the egg rolls don't stick.
- Step 6: In a single layer, place the filled egg rolls and cook until golden brown, flipping each crispy egg roll halfway through to cook evenly. Let Air Fryer Egg Rolls cool before serving.

- It may be necessary to work in batches when making this recipe. The first time you make this delicious appetizer, cook a small batch first, then cook the remaining egg rolls.

Air Fryer Cheeseburger Egg Rolls
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup finely chopped dill pickles
- 8-10 slices American cheese
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 16 egg roll wrappers
- 2 tbs oil or Cooking spray
- Yum Yum Sauce or store-bought
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, diced onions, and chopped dill pickles.
- Cook until the meat is juicy and browned, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
- Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined. Remove the meat mixture from the heat.
- On a clean and flat surface, lay out one egg roll wrapper with one corner facing you, creating a diamond shape.
- Wet the corners with some water and then place ½ slice of American cheese or cheddar and about ¼ cup of the cheeseburger filling in the center of the egg roll wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the side corners. Roll the wrapper tightly towards the top corner. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers.
- Lightly spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush it with olive oil to prevent the egg rolls from sticking. Place the egg rolls in a single layer inside the air fryer basket.
- Cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 8-10 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. I recommend checking halfway through and flipping the cheeseburger egg rolls so that they can cook evenly.
- Remove the egg rolls from the air fryer and let them cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
