Easy cheeseburger spring rolls make a great appetizer or gameday snack. Just 7 ingredients and about 30 minutes for these crispy spring rolls with a delicious cheeseburger flavor.
Cook the beef: Saute the ground beef and onion for about 5-7 minutes, over medium heat, or until the beef is cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool.
Mix the filling: Add the ketchup, mustard, pickles, and shredded cheese to the ground beef and onion. Mix well.
Roll: Carefully separate a spring roll wrapper from the stack of spring rolls. Keep the rest under a damp towel so they don't dry out.Place the wrapper on your work surface so it has a diamond shape. Add about 2 tablespoons of the mix to the bottom third of the wrapper. Fold the bottom point of the wrapper up and over. Fold in each side and then roll the wrap up almost all of the way. Wet the last point of the wrapper with water. Keep rolling to seal the roll. Set aside to fry. Repeat with the rest of the mixture. It'll make about 12 rolls.
Fry: Heat a quarter inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot add the spring rolls, frying in batches. Fry the spring rolls for about a minute on each side. Place on a paper towel once fried to drain off extra oil. Serve hot with extra ketchup for dipping.

Notes
I used extra lean ground beef and there was almost no fat in the pan. If you use regular, drain off the extra fat after cooking. Let cool.I use 6-inch spring roll wrappers. Don't like onion or pickles? Omit the onions or pickles if you don't like them.Try adding chopped bacon for bacon cheeseburger spring rolls!Spring rolls are best right after they've been cooked.Freeze the uncooked spring rolls and cook them later. To do this, lay the spring rolls out in a single layer, not touching, on a sheet pan. Let them freeze fully and then move them to an airtight container or a zip-top bag.Need more?
