How to Make Crispy Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Spring Rolls
Get ready to transform these classic comfort food flavors into a visually stunning, indulgent snack that’s sure to impress.
Step 1 — Prep Work
Start by cooking the bacon until crispy, then chop it into small pieces. In a skillet, sauté the ground beef until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat, then add the chopped garlic and cook for an additional minute, filling your kitchen with the heavenly aroma.
Step 2 — Main Cooking Process
In a bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, crispy bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Melt the butter in a small saucepan and stir in the remaining garlic. Carefully dip each spring roll wrapper into the garlic butter, coating both sides.
Step 3 — Final Steps/Assembly
Place a generous spoonful of the beef-bacon-cheese mixture onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then tightly roll up the wrapper, tucking in the sides as you go. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 4 — Finishing Touches
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat a generous amount of oil over medium-high heat. Carefully add the spring rolls and fry them until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Drain the rolls on a paper towel-lined plate, then serve warm and enjoy the satisfying crunch and mouthwatering flavors.
Chef Tips & Variations
- Baking Option: For a healthier twist, try baking the spring rolls instead of frying them. Simply brush the wrapped rolls with a bit of the garlic butter and bake at 400°F until golden brown.
- Cheese Swap: You can experiment with different cheese varieties, such as pepper jack or Swiss, to find your perfect flavor combination.
- Get Creative: Don’t be afraid to get creative and make this recipe your own.
- Leftovers: Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer to restore the perfect crispy texture.
Serving & Storage
