How to Make Cheeseburger Egg Rolls
Step 1 – In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat.

Step 3 – Stir in Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Expert Tips
- Cool Meat – Let the meat mixture cool slightly before adding the cheese and pickles. This will help the cheese to not melt completely and should keep the pickles crunchy.
- Rolling the Egg Rolls – Make sure the egg rolls are tightly rolled to prevent them from opening up during frying. Use the beaten egg generously to seal the edges.
- Filling the Egg Rolls – Make sure to not overfill the beef mixture so that mixture does not fall out during cooking.
