How to Make Crispy Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger Egg Rolls
Follow these simple steps to create these irresistible, flavor-packed Crispy Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger Egg Rolls in your own kitchen.
Step 1 — Prep Work
Begin by cooking the bacon until crispy, then crumbling it into small pieces. In a skillet, sauté the ground beef with the zesty seasoning blend, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat, then stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon until well combined.
Step 2 — Main Cooking Process
Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a clean, flat surface. Place a heaping tablespoon of the beef-bacon-cheese filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly, creating a neat, compact egg roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 3 — Final Steps/Assembly
In a large, heavy-bottomed pan or Dutch oven, heat 2-3 inches of oil to 350°F. Carefully add the stuffed egg rolls, a few at a time, and fry until golden-brown and crispy on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Transfer the cooked egg rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 4 — Finishing Touches
Serve the Crispy Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger Egg Rolls warm, with your favorite dipping sauces like tangy barbecue, cool and creamy ranch, or spicy aioli. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or green onions for a beautiful, gourmet-inspired presentation.
Chef Tips & Variations
- Cheddar Cheese Sauce: For an extra indulgent twist, try adding a dollop of creamy, melted cheddar cheese sauce on top of the egg rolls just before serving.
- Customizable Filling: Experiment with different mix-ins, such as sautéed onions, mushrooms, or even diced pickles, to customize the filling to your liking.
- Crispy Perfection: To ensure the perfect crispiness, be sure to fry the egg rolls in batches and maintain the oil temperature between 350-375°F.
- Baked Egg Rolls: For a healthier option, you can bake the egg rolls in a preheated 400°F oven for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden-brown and crispy.
