I went to Cheesecake Factory for my sister’s birthday a couple 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 because it’s really simple to prepare but also incredibly delicious! Just like a normal 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

Good news is, 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 eggrolls in. Vegetable oil works, too!
• Onion: For a little bit of texture and sharp flavor!
• Minced Garlic: Garlic is a must-add to your filling so that each bite is nice and savory.
• Ground Beef: This acts as the base of your filling. To cut down on fats, you can also swap this out for ground turkey.
• Worcestershire: Worcestershire sauce adds a tangy and savory flavor to your cheeseburger eggroll 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 eggrolls a flavor that is savory with a hint of smoky spice.
• Salt and Black Pepper: To enhance 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 eggroll recipe does require frying in oil, but it’s really 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 in the beef.
2. Combine With Sauces and Seasonings: Cook and crumble until no longer pink. Add in the ketchup, Worcestershire, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper, and stir it all together.
3. Transfer to a Bowl: Remove filling mixture and set into a bowl. Fold in the cheese.
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.

6. Serve: Remove and set onto a napkin. Serve warm and with your favorite dipping sauce!
