Mac and Cheese Egg Rolls

David Venable

Fill egg roll wrappers with mac and cheese, bacon, and chives, then pop them in your air fryer! These delicious treats are fun to eat—especially with a creamy, slightly spicy dipping sauce on the side.

Egg Rolls

  • 2 (12-oz) packages frozen macaroni and cheese, prepared per package directions
  • 1/2 cup bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 1/3 cup chives, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 10 egg roll wrappers
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Dipping Sauce

  • 1/3 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 tsp Sriracha sauce

Directions

To make the egg rolls, combine the prepared macaroni and cheese, bacon, chives, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. This will be the filling for your egg rolls.
Have a small prep bowl of water ready to wet the edges of the egg roll wrappers when sealing them up.
Place an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape in front of you. Dip your finger into the water and wet all four sides of the wrapper. Place about 2–3 Tbsp of the macaroni and cheese filling on the wrapper, just below the midpoint. Roll the corner closest to you over the filling, tucking the point under the filling. Next, bring the point from one side in towards the middle and repeat with the other side. The filled wrapper should start to resemble an envelope. Gently roll away from you, using the remaining tab of the wrapper to seal everything up. If a corner looks like it's coming apart, you can dab your finger in the water and use this to help seal it shut. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
Lightly spray the egg rolls with nonstick cooking spray. Cook them in an air fryer with the temperature set to 370°F and the timer set for 9–11 minutes. About halfway through the cooking time, open the air fryer and shake or flip the egg rolls to ensure even crisping, then continue cooking until done.
To make the dipping sauce, mix together the ranch dressing and Sriracha sauce in a prep bowl.

Cook's Notes

If you have homemade mac and cheese left over from another meal, you can use that instead of the frozen mac and cheese called for in the recipe.
