If you love cheeseburgers, you will love these. So good and easy to make with the air fryer.
The filling in these makes the perfect egg roll. They are perfectly air-fried up, crunchy on the outside, and warm and delicious on the inside. Perfection.
Truthfully, before my air fryer, I never made an egg roll, as I was not fond of deep-frying anything; it seemed like too much oil and too many risks for me to get burned.
So, once I received my first air fryer, I purchased my first egg roll wrapper package and became hooked. And my teens love them; they are truly portable food!

How To Make Air Fryer Cheeseburger Egg Rolls
Step 1: Brown the meat
In a large skillet, add the diced onions and ground beef, and saute over medium heat until the ground beef is browned; mix in the shredded cheese, diced cooked bacon, and dill pickles. Mix well.
Step 2: Fill the wrappers
Place your egg roll wrapper on a flat surface, and add about 1/4 cup of the cheeseburger filling into the middle of the wrapper. Use a pastry brush to brush the sides with a little water (this will help the egg roll seal). Fold the egg roll-up; this is a great video if you have never rolled an egg roll-up.
Step 3: Air fry the egg rolls
Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray. Then place your egg rolls into the basket in a single layer, set the temperature to 350 degrees F, air fryer setting, for about 8 to 10 minutes. Flip halfway.
Note: If you want the golden brown color, it will help to spray the egg roll wrappers with cooking spray, which will help them to crisp up.
Some Pro Tips:
- For the best results for this recipe, really make sure that your pickles are dried. I leave them for a couple of minutes on a paper towel. You want to drain them. Otherwise, the egg roll wrapper will be saturated with pickle juice.
- You can easily substitute ground pork, chicken, or sausage for ground beef.
- I recommend using egg roll wrappers for this recipe since the meat is hefty and might be too heavy for spring rolls.
- I spray cooking spray in my basket so the egg rolls do not stick to the basket. There is nothing worse than egg rolls that stick.
- If you really want them to crisp up, spraying the egg roll wrappers with cooking spray gives them a great crisp.
- Do not crowd the basket. Otherwise, they will not cook evenly. An air fryer works by circulating hot air around the basket.
- Serve these delicious egg rolls with your favorite dipping sauce, like bbq sauce, ranch, or even some spicy sriracha mayo.
- For a lighter dish, use lean ground beef or ground turkey.
How To Store Air Fryer Cheeseburger Egg Rolls
If you have any leftovers, let them cool to room temperature and place them in an airtight container. They will last for about 2 to 3 days.
You can reheat them in the air fryer or microwave before serving.
How To Freeze Air Fryer Cheeseburger Egg Rolls
This is a great recipe to make and freeze. I usually have some on hand. They do freeze nicely. The key to freezing them perfectly is to wrap them up several times.
I do this by individually freezing them on a baking sheet in the freezer. Then, I transfer them to a Ziploc bag and freeze them. They will last for about 1 to 2 months.
To cook them from frozen, place them directly from the freezer into the air fryer basket and air fry at 350 degrees F, air fryer setting for 10 to 12 minutes.

These look delicious and I’d like to try them but with only two of us we couldn’t possibly eat 12 -16 of them in one sitting. Do they freeze well? Thanks much
