• Cheese Options: While this recipe calls for American cheese, you can substitute that with whatever kind you like. Cheddar cheese, swiss cheese, or pepper jack all work well in these egg rolls. 
• Add Spice: Spice up your cheeseburger egg rolls to create heat. Add hot sauce, cayenne pepper, jalapenos, or crushed red pepper flakes to your ground beef mixture. This will add a yummy bite to your appetizer. 
• Pickle Variety: You can use different pickles for your egg rolls. Spicy pickles, dill pickles, and even hamburger pickles work well. You can even use sweet pickle relish if you choose. 

Storage Instructions

If you have leftovers, you can store them in the fridge. Place your cooled egg rolls into an airtight container and place them in the refrigerator. They will keep well for up to 3 days. 

Can I Freeze?

 Yes! You can freeze the egg rolls once they are finished cooking. Allow them to cool, then transfer them into a freezer-safe airtight container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to reheat, place them into your air fryer or oven and heat until thoroughly warmed. 

Recipe Tips and Tricks

• Oil Temperature: Maintain a consistent oil temperature during frying. Too hot, and the egg rolls may brown too quickly without cooking the interior; too cool, and they may absorb too much oil.
• Testing Oil Readiness: Test the oil’s readiness by dropping a small piece of egg roll wrapper into the hot oil. The oil is ready for frying if it sizzles and turns golden brown quickly.
• Wrapper Care: Keep the egg roll wrappers covered with a damp towel while assembling to prevent them from drying out. This ensures they remain pliable and easy to work with.
• Seal Properly: Ensure a tight seal when wrapping the egg rolls to prevent the filling from spilling during frying. Use a small amount of water on your finger to moisten the edges for better adhesion.
