- Cook the Filling: In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Remove the beef and drain excess fat.

Season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Combine together and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Prepare the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center. Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese and some chopped pickles.
- Roll the Egg Rolls: Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly. Seal the edge with a bit of water. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Storage and Reheating Instructions
How to Store Cheeseburger Egg Rolls:
Leftovers? No problem! Store any uneaten egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll stay good for up to 3 days.
How to Reheat Cheeseburger Egg Rolls:
When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply reheat them in the oven at 350°F until they’re warmed through and crispy. This method helps maintain that delightful crunch we all love. Microwave reheating might be quicker, but it tends to soften the wrappers, so I’d recommend the oven for the best results.

Can This Be Frozen?
Yes, you can freeze these cheeseburger egg rolls! Freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll last for about 2 months. When you’re ready to eat, there’s no need to thaw; just pop them straight into the oven and bake until crispy and heated through.
Can This Be Made Ahead of Time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the filling and even roll the egg rolls a day in advance. Keep them covered in the refrigerator until you’re ready to fry them. This makes your prep work on the day of serving much easier, especially if you’re planning for a party or a big family dinner.
Substitutions & Variations
- Vegetarian? Swap the ground beef with a plant-based meat alternative.
- Not a fan of cheddar? Try mozzarella or pepper jack cheese for a different flavor profile.
- You can also add some finely chopped vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to the beef mixture for an extra nutrient boost.
Helpful Cooking Notes
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying – this prevents the egg rolls from absorbing too much oil and becoming greasy.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
- If you’re sealing the egg rolls and find the edges won’t stick, just dab a little more water on the edges. The key is a good seal so the filling stays neatly inside while frying.
