- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 10 egg roll wrappers

Instructions
- Prepare the Filling
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and diced onion, cooking until browned. Drain any excess grease.
- Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring the filling is well combined.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls
- Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you, forming a diamond shape.
- Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the cheeseburger filling near the center of the wrapper. Add optional toppings like diced pickles or bacon if desired.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edge with a dab of water. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Fry the Egg Rolls
- Heat oil in a frying pan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add a few egg rolls at a time, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3–4 minutes.
- Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup, mustard, ranch, or a smoky burger sauce.
