Venison Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

Venison cheeseburgers are hard to beat. Egg rolls are the perfect appetizer to enjoy at a get-together. Why not combine the two?

All the flavors of a good venison cheeseburger get packed into these easy-to-eat egg rolls.

That’s what we did for this easy appetizer dish. It starts with seasoned ground venison that gets rolled into roughly a skinny egg shape, then topped with cheese and a pickle or two before getting wrapped in an egg roll wrapper (you can find them in the refrigerated section of your local grocery store) before getting deep fried to a crispy golden brown.

Packed with diced onion, cheese and sliced dill pickles, these egg rolls are full of delicious flavor.

Start with one pound of ground venison. Add half an onion that you have finely chopped, a teaspoon each of salt and pepper, and a tablespoon each of Worcestershire and soy sauce. Mix it all up.

Mix the onion, salt and pepper, Worcestershire and soy sauce into the ground venison.

Roll the meat into a skinny egg shape roughly two inches long. Repeat until all the meat has been rolled. Fry the meat in a skillet for 6-8 minutes, flipping often, until browned on all sides and just cooked through. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan so that you get a nice sear on the surface of the meat.

Roll the venison into egg shapes then fry it until just cooked through.

Once the burger meat has been cooked, place an egg roll wrapper on your work surface. Place a cooked roll of burger meat onto the center. Top with sliced cheese and a dill pickle. Roll your egg roll by bringing up the bottom of the wrapper, then folding in the sides, then finish by rolling over the top. Dip your finger in a bowl of water and run it over the top edges before rolling to help seal the wrapper closed. Set aside and repeat.

Add burger, cheese and pickle to the egg roll wrapper then fold and seal the egg roll.

After all of the rolls have been made, heat 3 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy pan over medium-high. Once the oil reaches 325-350 degrees, fry the egg rolls a few at a time, until crispy and golden brown. This should take about 2-3 minutes per batch. Move the fried egg rolls to a paper lined baking sheet or metal cooling rack to drain while you continue to fry remaining egg rolls.

Fry until crisp and golden brown.

Serve with YumYum or your favorite dipping sauce.
