Let’s Make it together

Prep Your Workspace: Start by clearing your counter space and gathering all your ingredients. This will keep you organized and make the process smoother.

Sauté the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Add finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. The aroma will have you drooling.

Add Flavoring Ingredients: Stir in ketchup and mustard into the meat mixture until well combined. This adds that classic cheeseburger taste people crave.

Assemble Your Eggrolls: Lay an eggroll wrapper flat on your work surface. Spoon about two tablespoons of filling onto the center and fold up the sides before rolling tightly from the bottom up. Seal edges with water.

Heat the Oil: In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). A kitchen thermometer helps ensure it’s just right.

Fry Until Golden Brown: Carefully place eggrolls in hot oil without overcrowding them. Fry each side for 3-4 minutes until they’re golden brown and crispy. Remove them onto paper towels to absorb excess oil.
