Cheeseburger Egg Rolls Air Fryer Recipe (1)

These cheeseburger eggrolls have all the flavors of a juicy cheeseburger, but wrapped up in an egg roll wrapper. They are perfect as an appetizer, game day treat, or just a fun weeknight dinner.

Cheeseburger Egg Roll Filling

I filled this cheeseburger egg roll with lean ground beef, onions, pickles, some seasoning (garlic powder, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and salt), and good ol' American cheese. I am a firm believer in using real, full fat cheese whenever possible, but nothing beat American Cheese on a burger.

While I do not love pickles, the added pickle definitely gave it a good cheeseburger flavor so I do not recommend skipping. My daughter loathes pickles and loved this; she was actually shocked when I told her there were pickles in it. If you are a pickle lover, you can easily double the pickles in here.

Other mix-ins to consider would be diced tomato, crumbled bacon, or different kinds of cheese like cheddar or blue cheese.

If you substitute ground turkey in this recipe, one egg roll will still be 3 WW SP, but 2 will be 5 instead of 6 on green. These will be 2 WW SP each and two for 5 on blue and purple. In my opinion, lean beef is the way to go. I like to pair mine with my homemade healthy thousand island dressing.
