Not only are they full of hearty ground beef and melty cheese, but they have all the flavors you love. The best part for me is the pickle and the onion.

Ingredients Needed

Ground beef – Use lean ground beef or sub ground turkey.

Onion – A sweet yellow or white onion works best.

Ketchup – Regular or low sodium works.

Mustard – I prefer old fashioned yellow mustard but spicy, Dijon, or whole grain will work too.

Worcestershire sauce – Sub steak sauce if desired.

American cheese – I like to use the Kraft slices or Velveeta slices as they melt the best.

Relish – I prefer dill but the original recipe uses sweet pickle relish. No relish? Chopped dill pickles works well.

Egg roll wrappers – Don’t use wonton wrappers as they are too small.

Spices – Garlic powder, salt, black pepper, sesame seeds.

Oil – Use vegetable or canola oil for frying.

Big Mac sauce – This is a simple mixture of mayo, sweet relish, sugar, mustard, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder.

How to Make Big Mac Egg Rolls

First: In a medium skillet over medium high heat, cook the ground beef and onions until almost done. Stir in mustard, ketchup, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce.

Combine ground beef and condiments and continue cooking until no longer pink. Remove from heat. Drain excess fat if desired. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Second: Wrap the egg rolls. Place a wrapper diagonally in front of you on a clean surface. Add a slice of cheese to the middle.

Place 1-2 tablespoons of hamburger mixture in the center of the egg roll. Top with some of the diced pickles and a sprinkle of the sesame seeds.

Third: Wet the edges with water and fold. Start with the bottom corner folding up. Then tuck in the sides and roll up to seal. Repeat until all are done.

Fourth: Heat 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until temp reaches 375. Flip halfway through and fry on all sides until golden brown.

Remove to a paper towel-lined plate or tray with a wire rack. Sprinkle sesame seeds while having oil on them or they might not stick.

While the egg rolls are cooling down slightly, mix the sauce. Combine all the ingredients together in a bowl. Serve dipping sauce with egg rolls.

What to Serve with Big Mac Egg Rolls

I like to enjoy these with chicken wings, queso dip, or crispy french fries. Don’t forget the special sauce! I’m a sucker for the special sauce that each restaurant makes and while Big Mac sauce is yummy, so is this In-N-Out sauce.

Can I make these in the air fryer?

Yes, you can. Just add the wrapped cheeseburger egg rolls to the air fryer basket. Spray with cooking spray or brush with melted butter to get a nice golden brown color when they cook.

Air fry at 400F for 7-10 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Tapas Tips & Tricks

  • Mix the sauce in a small bowl and chill before making the egg rolls so the flavors can develop.
  • Lay all the wrappers out and divide all the meat out on them to make sure you have enough for all 12.
  • Heat the frying oil slightly higher than 375F as the temperature will drop when you add the egg rolls.
  • Sprinkle the egg rolls with sesame seeds as soon as they come out of the oil or they won’t stick to them.
  • Alternatively, you can add the sesame seeds to the inside of them.
  • Try to keep everything in the center of the roll for easier folding.
  • A couple drops of water are all you need to seal them. Too much and they get sticky and tear.
  • Substitute cheddar cheese if needed.
