Cheesecake Factory Copycat Cheeseburger Eggrolls Recipe
I went to Cheesecake Factory for my sister’s birthday a couple weeks ago and it was my first time trying their amazing cheeseburger egg rolls! They had the perfect crispy shell with a meaty, flavorful filling. I knew I had to try making them at home! If you know me, then you know I love eggrolls and they’re one of my all-time favorite appetizers to make for game days and family get-togethers. Avocado eggrolls are usually my go-to, but I think this amazing cheeseburger variety is going to kick them out of their top spot!
This appetizer has the best of both worlds because it’s really simple to prepare but also incredibly delicious! Just like a normal cheeseburger, you can add different fillings to customize yours! (See some ideas below in the tips section!) It’s hard to stop at one with these bite-sized pieces of cheesy deliciousness. Make sure to snag a couple for yourself because they’ll be gone in no time! Let’s get cooking!
Everything You’ll Need to Make Them
Good news is, the majority of ingredients on this list are spices and seasonings! With just a few other simple ingredients, you’ll have this tasty appetizer cooking up in no time. You can find all measurements in the recipe card below.
- Olive Oil: Needed to fry your eggrolls in. Vegetable oil works, too!
- Onion: For a little bit of texture and sharp flavor!
- Minced Garlic: Garlic is a must-add to your filling so that each bite is nice and savory.
- Ground Beef: This acts as the base of your filling. To cut down on fats, you can also swap this out for ground turkey.
- Worcestershire: Worcestershire sauce adds a tangy and savory flavor to your cheeseburger eggroll filling.
- Ketchup: For a hint of sweetness and saucy consistency.
- Seasonings and Spices: I used a blend of garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika for the filling. It gives the eggrolls a flavor that is savory with a hint of smoky spice.
- Salt and Black Pepper: To enhance overall taste.
- Cheddar Cheese: Cheddar has that classic cheeseburger flavor, but you can swap this out for pepper jack, swiss, or American cheese!
- Egg Roll Wrappers: Buy a pack of these premade for easy preparation!

How Long Do Cheeseburger Eggrolls Last in the Fridge?
Cheeseburger eggrolls are great for storing and enjoying later! They’re the perfect quick and easy snack. My kids love having them after school with their favorite dips!
- In the Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- To Reheat: I like to reheat and crisp up my eggrolls over the stove on medium heat until warmed through. You can also pop these in the air fryer for a few minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Similarly, you can reheat them on a baking sheet for 4-5 minutes in the oven at 400 degrees F.
