Ingredients
For the Egg Roll Filling
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (to cook the ground beef)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/4 cup yellow onion (diced)
- 1/3 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/3 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup pickles (diced)
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon crumbles
- 4 slices American cheese
- 12 pieces egg roll wraps
- 1/2 cup water (cold)
- 1/2 teaspoon olive oil (for brushing egg rolls)
For the Dipping Sauce
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/3 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Make the Dipping Sauce
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, black pepper, and garlic powder. Cover and chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the cheeseburger egg rolls.
Make the Egg Roll Filling
- In a medium skillet, add the olive oil, ground beef, and onions. Cook over medium heat, breaking up the ground beef into crumbles until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are soft, about 10 minutes.
- Add in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, pickles, bacon crumbles, and cheese. Stir until well blended and the cheese has melted. Let simmer for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the filling has thickened. Remove from heat.
Assemble the Egg Rolls
- Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit and set the timer for 10 minutes.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper flat and rub some water on the outer edges. Add 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture to the center of the wrapper. Roll the egg wrapper up, folding the bottom corner over the beef, then fold in the outer left and right edges, and then roll up the egg roll.
- Brush the outside of the egg rolls with olive oil.
Air Fry the Egg Rolls
- Place the egg rolls in the air fryer in a single layer and air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, until brown and crispy. Flip the egg rolls halfway through.
- Remove the egg rolls from the air fryer, let cool, then enjoy with the dipping sauce.
Notes
When rolling the egg rolls, make sure to seal the edges well to prevent the filling from spilling out during cooking. Feel free to customize the filling by adding your favorite burger toppings, like diced tomatoes or jalapeños. For a spicier dipping sauce, add a dash of hot sauce or chili powder to the mixture.
