How to prepare Cheeseburger Twists
Making Cheeseburger Twists is simple and straightforward. Just follow these step-by-step instructions, and you will have a delicious snack ready in no time!
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
Steps:
- 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

How to store Cheeseburger Twists

Tips to make Cheeseburger Twists perfectly
- Don’t overfill: Make sure to add just enough filling to the egg roll wrapper, so they roll up easily.
- Seal well: Use water to seal the edges tightly, ensuring the filling doesn’t spill out while cooking.
- Hot oil: Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying, so the twists turn golden brown and crispy.
Variations
Feel free to get creative! You can add diced pickles for a tangy twist, or substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option. You could also mix in different cheeses like pepper jack for a spicy kick.
FAQ
