Air Fryer Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

January 28, 2026 Amanda Plott

If cheeseburgers and egg rolls had a love child, this would be it. Crispy, golden egg roll wrappers filled with all the gooey, savory goodness of a cheeseburger—without the deep-fried guilt. These Air Fryer Cheeseburger Egg Rolls are the kind of snack that makes you want to high-five your future self for being both clever and kind to your waistline.

Why this works

Flavor Mash-Up: All the hallmark cheeseburger elements—seasoned ground beef, melty cheddar, pickles, and a ketchup and mustards—are wrapped up and crisped to perfection.
Healthier Crisp: The air fryer gives you that crunchy exterior you crave with only a spritz of oil, instead of a vat of hot grease.
Make-Ahead Magic: Assemble ahead and freeze or refrigerate for quick dinners, parties, or when the midnight burger mood strikes.
Versatile: Swap beef for turkey, chicken, or a plant-based crumble. Use different cheeses or add veggies—get weird, get wonderful…

Cheeseburger Gnocchi

April 28, 2023 Amanda Plott

I’ll be honest in saying that anytime I’ve had gnocchi before, it’s usually been in an Italian soup or as part of a Mediterranean sheet pan. Which, both are amazing. It did make me wonder though - why don’t I use gnocchi more often as a part of other cuisine styles? Enter Cheeseburger Gnocchi. Gnocchi are lovely little pillows of pasta that are usually made at least partially with potato or some other vegetable. It kind of makes them a really good filler or substitute for traditional pasta.

This Cheeseburger Gnocchi starts off with the gnocchi which is sautéed quickly in a pan and then set aside. After that? It’s cooking up all the meat and veggies. I kept this light by using a whole lot of onion and a lean ground beef instead of, well, not lean. After a quick simmer, the cheese and cream is added and you end up with a perfectly cheesy burger dish!…

Vegetarian Cheeseburger Crunch Wraps

April 11, 2023 Amanda Plott

Who doesn’t love a good crunch wrap? While they’re tasty from the taco franchise that we all love to hate and hate to love, you can absolutely make them at home quickly, easily, and in a way that is sooo much better for you. Today I doubled down and flipped the script making a crunch wrap that not only had a cheeseburger twist, but is also meatless!

These Vegetarian Cheeseburger Crunch Wraps are layered very similar to a standard taco crunch wrap except I’ve used cheeseburger toppings and condiments in lieu of taco ones. We’re talking pickle, ketchup, mustard, burger ‘meat’, cheese, and even lettuce and tomato too…

Cheeseburger Salad Jar

It’s the weekend so why not do a little bit of meal prep work ahead of the work week? These Cheeseburger Salad Jar are super easy to make and are the equivalent of a cheeseburger turned into a salad and then shoved into a jar for ease of grab-and-go lunch on the run. It’s got everything in there that you know and love about a traditional cheeseburger.

Ground beef, lettuce, tomato, pickles, cheese, and of course special sauce for dressing! It doesn’t have to stop there either. I also drizzled a little bit of ketchup and mustard over mine because it gave it even more of that cheeseburger feel!…

Vegetarian Cheeseburger Tater Tot Casserole

May 25, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s been… a week. My kiddo is sick ahead of their final exams, decisions need to be made ahead of next year, and the world is on fire as far as I can see. It’s going to be a difficult next few days for the lost of us and I’m buckling up for this bumpy ride to continue. The very least that I can do is to have some good food on hand that’s easy and quick to prepare. So here we are. Vegetarian Cheeseburger Tater Tot Casserole.

I’ve made burger casseroles before, but none of them included tater tots and none of them were vegetarian, so we’re making progress here I think. Or at very least doing something a little different right? Right. So instead of being a noodle based casserole this one is… not. It’s vegetarian meat based and tater tot influenced? Sure. Let’s go with that…

Zucchini Cheeseburger Skillet

July 20, 2021 Amanda Plott

Craving for something easy and cheesy? Look no further! This Zucchini Cheeseburger Skillet is easy to make, all in one skillet, and has all the cheesy goodness of a cheeseburger without any of the guilt. I based it off the same idea as my Zucchini Taco Skillet, but used cheeseburger components instead of taco. The end result was this burger in a bowl.

I made sure to load this skillet up with plenty of veggies, zucchini, onion, lettuce, and even some fresh tomato! Like I said, this has everything you love about a cheeseburger, even pickles! It starts out with meat and onion, then there’s tomatoes and seasonings, and it’s all followed up with zucchini and condiments!…
