Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon hamburger seasoning
- ½ small yellow onion, finely chopped (about ¼ cup)
- 4 large dill pickles, finely diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- 1 recipe onion bacon jam, prepared
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons mustard
- 2 teaspoons ketchup
Preparing Your Bacon Jam Cheeseburger Egg Rolls
Cooking the Ground Beef Mixture
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef along with hamburger seasoning. Cook it while stirring occasionally until browned and no pink remains, about 8 to 10 minutes. Once cooked, drain any excess oil and set aside to cool slightly.
Assembling the Egg Rolls
Lay out the 10 egg roll wrappers on a clean surface. Working with one wrapper at a time, place 1 tablespoon of bacon jam, followed by ¼ cup of the cooked ground beef mixture, 1 teaspoon of diced onion, 1 ½ tablespoons of diced pickles, and 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese near the center of the wrapper.
Rolling the Egg Rolls
To roll the egg rolls, lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold up the bottom corner over the filling and roll once. Then, fold in the right and left corners toward the center, pressing lightly to seal. Continue rolling until fully enclosed, ensuring the edges are pressed firmly to seal the roll.
Cooking the Egg Rolls
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Place the assembled egg rolls in the fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded—you may need to work in batches. Spray the tops of the egg rolls with nonstick cooking spray. Air fry for 3–4 minutes, then carefully flip them, spray again, and cook for another 3–4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Making the Dipping Sauce
While the egg rolls are cooking, prepare the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup until smooth.
Serving the Egg Rolls
Serve the Bacon Jam Cheeseburger Egg Rolls hot, alongside the dipping sauce for an extra flavorful twist!
Serving Suggestions
These egg rolls pair perfectly with crispy potato wedges, a refreshing coleslaw, or a vibrant salad. Consider serving them at a game day gathering or as a tempting appetizer at your next dinner party.
Tips for Success
- Ensure that the egg roll wrappers are sealed tightly to prevent leakage during cooking.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; air circulation is key to achieving a crispy texture.
- Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
Variations
- Add sautéed mushrooms or jalapeños for an added kick.
- Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
- Try different cheeses, like pepper jack or mozzarella, for varied flavors.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them before cooking; just add a few extra minutes to the air-frying time when ready to cook.
Pairing Ideas
Pair these delightful egg rolls with a chilled craft beer, a robust red wine, or even a tangy lemonade. The drink choices can greatly enhance your savory flavors.
