Ingredients for cheeseburger egg rolls

Ground beef – Ground beef works well here because we are mimiking the flavors of a cheeseburger and traditinoal burgers are made with ground beef. I usually use 93/7 ground beef but you can opt to use a fattier ground beef since you will be draining off any fat.
Spices – I added a little granulated garlic, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper but feel free to use whatever spices you have on hand and love.
Shredded cheese – I love cheddar cheese on my burgers so that’s what I used here.
Green onions – Green onions are my favorite so I include thinly sliced whole (that means I included both the white and green parts) green onions in these egg rolls because it brings bring time flavor without being too overpowering.
Chopped dill pickles – Pickles are such a standard on cheeseburgers they had to be included in these air fryer egg rolls! If you don’t feel like chopping up pickles you can substitute dill pickle relish.
Egg roll wrappers – This is what wraps up all the filling! You can find egg roll wrappers in most grocery stores near where you find fresh herbs, vegetables, or refridgerated salad dressings.

Substitutions and tips

Love the look of these air fryer cheeseburger egg rolls but wanting to know if you can make any changes?

Well, here are a few tips and substitutions you can use for this recipe:

Swap out the protein – Not a fan of ground beef? Try using ground chicken, ground buffalo, or even ground pork.
Add bacon – Love bacon? Add in some fried chopped bacon or even use real bacon bits if you’re short on time. Just remember, adding bacon will add more sodium to the recipe so you may want to adjust the kosher salt amount.
Use fresh garlic – Not a fan of granulated garlic? Feel free to brown the ground beef with some fresh minced or grated garlic.
Spice it up even more – Want to add even more flavor to the ground beef? Try adding in onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, or even steak/burger seasoning.

What is an air fryer?

An air fryer is basically a tabletop convection oven.

It mimics the outcome of a deep fat fryer but without the use of oil. Hot hair is moved around via a fan that quickly and crisply cooks up the food.

The 2 most common air fryers you’ll see are basket style (that is what I have) or convection/toaster oven style.

There are pluses to both but I personally prefer my basket style.

What is the best air fryer to buy?

I prefer the basket-style air fryer as it’s a bit smaller and takes up less room than the toaster oven-style air fryer.

My biggest tip when it comes to air fryers is to make sure you pick a style that will work the most for your family and the amount of food you will be cooking.

My large basket-style air fryer can cook up to 12 wings, 2-4 servings of french fries, etc. which works well for my household.

Storing egg rolls

Have leftover appetizers? No worries I have you covered!

Store any leftover homemade egg rolls in an air tight container in the refridgerator for up to 3 days.

Reheating egg rolls in the air fryer

If you’re looking to reheat these cheeseburger egg rolls it’s so easy and simple!

Add refridgerated leftover egg rolls to your basket and cook for about 5 minutes at 375 degrees F.

Make sure to keep and eye on the egg rolls just so they don’t burn.

Difference between an egg roll and spring roll

Egg rolls and spring rolls are 2 very different things.

Spring rolls are made out of thing rice or flour wrappers and egg rolls are made out of thicker flour wrappers that are often brushed with egg wash.

Both are delicious but just be sure you’re buying the correct wrappers.

Air Fryer Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

Name: Air Fryer Cheeseburger Egg Rolls
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 10
Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef; 1 teaspoon garlic powder; 1/2 teaspoon paprika; 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt; 1/2 teaspoons black pepper; 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese; 2 green onions, thinly sliced; 1/4 cup chopped dill pickles; 10 egg roll wrappers; 1 large egg

Yield: 10 egg rolls

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped dill pickles
10 egg roll wrappers
1 large egg

Instructions

Add the ground beef, garlic powder, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper to a medium-sized skillet set over medium-high heat.
Cook, stirring often, and break up the meat until the meat is browned, about 5 minutes.
After it's browned, drain the grease.
Let the browned beef set aside until it is cool enough to handle (you don’t want it to melt the cheese), about 10 minutes.
Add the cooled beef to a large bowl along with the cheese, green onion, and pickles. Stir to combine.
Add about 1/4 cup of filling to the center of one egg roll wrapper.
Beat the egg in a small bowl with a splash of water to create an egg wash.
Brush the egg wash around the edges of the egg roll wrapper to create a seal.
Roll the wrapper into an egg roll (the same way you could roll a burrito) by folding the bottom point over the filling, then fold the left and right points into the center, and finally by rolling it upward to seal.
Lightly grease your air fryer basket with olive oil spray and add as many egg rolls as will fit. Make sure to place them seam side down so they don’t explode!
Brush the tops of the wontons with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds or flakey sea salt, if desired.
Cook at 400 degrees F for 5 minutes. Then flip the egg rolls over and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Serve warm, with your choice of dipping sauce.
Store any leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the air fryer until warm (about 5 minutes at 375F).
