Need a Tasty Appetizer That is Cheesy Good?

Cheeseburger eggrolls have all the beefy, cheesy goodness of a burger but inside a crispy shell! Make this delicious appetizer for your next get-together and I assure you, it will be a huge hit!

Eggrolls are my jam. I always love classic egg rolls, but avocado egg rolls are a close competitor! (You can even make these in the air fryer for faster prep!) They’re way easier to make at home than you might expect, and the whole family will want seconds.

Cheesecake Factory Copycat Cheeseburger Eggrolls Recipe

I went to Cheesecake Factory for my sister’s birthday a couple of weeks ago, and it was my first time trying their amazing cheeseburger egg rolls! They had the perfect crispy shell with a meaty, flavorful filling. I knew I had to try making them at home! If you know me, then you know I love eggrolls, and they’re one of my all-time favorite appetizers to make for game days and family get-togethers. Avocado eggrolls are usually my go-to, but I think this amazing cheeseburger variety is going to kick them out of their top spot!

This appetizer has the best of both worlds, as it’s straightforward to prepare yet incredibly delicious. Just like a regular cheeseburger, you can add different fillings to customize yours! (See some ideas below in the tips section!) It’s hard to stop at one with these bite-sized pieces of cheesy deliciousness. Make sure to snag a couple for yourself because they’ll be gone in no time! Let’s get cooking! Everything You’ll Need to Make Them

The good news is that the majority of ingredients on this list are spices and seasonings! With just a few other simple ingredients, you’ll have this tasty appetizer cooking up in no time. You can find all measurements in the recipe card below.

  • Olive Oil: Needed to fry your egg rolls in. Vegetable oil works, too!
  • Onion: For a little bit of texture and sharp flavor!
  • Minced Garlic: Garlic is a must-add ingredient to your filling, making each bite nice and savory.
  • Ground Beef: This acts as the base of your filling. To reduce fat, you can also substitute this with ground turkey.
  • Worcestershire sauce adds a tangy and savory flavor to your cheeseburger egg roll filling.
  • Ketchup: For a hint of sweetness and saucy consistency.
  • Seasonings and Spices: I used a blend of garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika for the filling. It gives the egg rolls a savory flavor with a hint of smoky spice.
  • Salt and Black Pepper: To enhance the overall taste.
  • Cheddar Cheese: Cheddar has that classic cheeseburger flavor, but you can swap this out for pepper jack, Swiss, or American cheese!
  • Egg Roll Wrappers: Buy a pack of these premade for easy preparation!

How to Make Cheeseburger Eggrolls

This egg roll recipe does require frying in oil, but it’s straightforward. In just a few simple steps, you’ll have a restaurant-worthy appetizer ready to eat.

  1. Sauté Vegetables and Beef: In a medium pan over medium-high heat, add the oil, onions, and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes and then add the beef.
  2. Combine with Sauces and Seasonings: Cook and crumble until no longer pink. Add the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, and stir until well combined.
  3. Transfer to a Bowl: Remove filling mixture and set it into a bowl.
  4. Prepare Wrappers: Take your egg roll wrapper and wet the edges. Add the meat to the center and fold in the edges to seal.
  5. Fry: In a skillet, add oil and heat it over medium-high heat. Add each egg roll and cook for 2-3 minutes, turning once, until golden brown on both sides.
  6. Serve: Remove and set onto a napkin. Serve warm, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce!

Tips and Variations

The great thing about this cheeseburger eggroll recipe is that you can customize it with a variety of different mix-ins. Here are a few of my favorites to try in your next batch.

  • Fillings and Sauces: For a classic cheeseburger flavor, try adding ingredients like chopped pickles, tomatoes, bacon bits, mustard, or mayonnaise.
  • Make it Vegetarian: Try crumbled Beyond Beef in your filling for a delicious meat-free option!
  • Make it Gluten-Free: To make your cheeseburger egg rolls gluten-free, swap out the eggroll wrappers for spring roll wrappers. These are made of rice instead.

How Long Do Cheeseburger Eggrolls Last in the Fridge?

Cheeseburger eggrolls are great for storing and enjoying later! They’re the perfect quick and easy snack. My kids love having them after school with their favorite dips!

  • In the Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • To Reheat: I like to reheat and crisp my egg rolls over the stove on medium heat until they are warmed through. You can also pop these in the air fryer for a few minutes at 400°F. Similarly, you can reheat them on a baking sheet for 4-5 minutes in the oven at 400°F.
