How to Make Cheeseburger Twists

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 package egg roll wrappers

Directions:

In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, diced onions, and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook and crumble the beef until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
Remove the beef mixture from the heat and transfer it to a bowl. Allow it to cool slightly, then fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface and wet the edges with water. Place a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture in the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly, sealing the top edge with a bit more water.
In a clean skillet, add enough oil to cover the bottom and heat it over medium-high heat. Carefully add the egg rolls to the hot oil and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the egg rolls from the skillet and place them on a napkin-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm and enjoy!

How to Serve Cheeseburger Twists

Cheeseburger Twists are best served hot and crispy right after cooking. You can serve them with dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or barbecue sauce for extra flavor. They make a wonderful appetizer or snack, and you can pair them with a simple salad or fries for a complete meal.

How to Store Cheeseburger Twists

If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be kept for about 2-3 days. To reheat, you can bake them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes to get them crispy again.

Tips to Make Cheeseburger Twists

Make sure the oil is hot before adding the egg rolls to ensure they get crispy.
Don’t overfill the wrappers; keep the filling amount manageable to prevent spills.
Customize the filling by adding pickles, mustard, or other favorite cheeseburger ingredients.

Variation

You can change the cheese to pepper jack for a spicy kick or add cooked bacon bits for extra flavor. Feel free to add chopped vegetables such as bell peppers or mushrooms to the beef mixture too.

FAQs

Can I bake the Cheeseburger Twists instead of frying them?
Yes, you can bake them! Brush the twists with a little olive oil and bake them in an oven preheated to 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

What can I use if I don’t have egg roll wrappers?
You can use spring roll wrappers or even make your own dough if you’re feeling adventurous.

Can I freeze Cheeseburger Twists?
Yes! You can freeze them before frying. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag. When you’re ready, fry them straight from the freezer for crispy, delicious results.
