How to Make Deep-fried Bacon Cheeseburger Stuffed Egg Rolls
Crafting these decadent egg rolls is a straightforward process that blends familiar flavors with an elegant, crispy presentation.
Step 1 — Prep Work
Begin by cooking the bacon until crispy, then crumble it into bite-sized pieces. In a separate pan, sauté the ground beef with your desired seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, until fully cooked and browned.
Step 2 — Main Cooking Process
Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a clean surface, and place a spoonful of the seasoned ground beef in the center of each wrapper. Top the beef with crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese. Carefully fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll it up tightly to create the egg roll shape.
Step 3 — Final Steps/Assembly
In a deep pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil to 350°F. Gently lower the stuffed egg rolls into the hot oil and fry them until they’re golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Be careful not to overcrowd the pot, and fry the egg rolls in batches if necessary.
Step 4 — Finishing Touches
Once the egg rolls are perfectly fried, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve the deep-fried bacon cheeseburger stuffed egg rolls warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley or green onions for a visually stunning and elegant presentation.
Chef Tips & Variations
- Indulgent Twist: Consider adding a dollop of your favorite burger sauce or aioli to the center of the egg roll before wrapping it up. This will create a delectable, gooey center that oozes with flavor with every bite.
- Cheese Blend: Experiment with different cheese blends, such as a combination of cheddar and pepper jack, to find your perfect flavor profile.
- Baked Option: For a healthier twist, try baking the egg rolls instead of frying them. Simply brush the wrapped rolls with a light coating of oil and bake them in the oven at 400°F until golden brown and crispy, about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Make-Ahead: Prepare the egg rolls in advance and store them uncooked in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before frying. This will save you time on the day you plan to serve them.
Serving & Storage
