Ingredients Needed:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground chuck steak
- 1/2 white onion, small diced
- 1/4 cup chopped pickled jalapeños
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 3 dashes of Worcestershire sauce
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese
- Peanut oil, for frying
- 1/2 cup store-bought ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup store-bought burger sauce
How To Make Cheeseburger Wontons:
- Cook the Meat: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground chuck steak and diced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned and cooked through about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in chopped jalapeños, ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside.
- Assemble the Wontons: Lay out a few wonton wrappers and prepare a small bowl of water. Scoop 1 teaspoon of the meat mixture into the center of each wrapper. Top with a pinch of grated Cheddar. Wet two connecting edges of the wrapper with water, then fold the dry edges over to form a triangle. Pinch the edges together tightly, making sure to push out any air pockets. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Fry the Wontons: Heat 1 inch of peanut oil in a deep pan to 375°F (use a deep-fry thermometer). Fry the wontons in batches, turning halfway, for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden and crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Serve: Serve the crispy wontons with ranch dressing and burger sauce on the side for dipping.
Recipe Tips
- Seal the wontons well: Make sure to seal the edges tightly to prevent the filling from leaking while frying.
- Do not overfill the wrappers: Adding too much filling can cause the wontons to burst during cooking.
- Use a deep-fry thermometer: Keep an eye on the oil temperature to ensure even frying and avoid burning the wontons.
- Work quickly with the wrappers: Wonton wrappers can dry out quickly, so keep unused ones covered with a damp cloth.
- Serve hot: The wontons taste best when served immediately after frying for maximum crispiness.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers
Storing in the Fridge: Place leftover wontons in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freezing: Lay the wontons in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Reheating: Reheat the wontons in an oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to regain their crispiness.
