You'll Need (for 4):

For the cheeseburger roll:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp pepper
• 1¼ cups shredded cheddar cheese

For the batter:

• 1⅔ cups flour
• 2 eggs
• pinch of salt
• 1 cup milk

Here's How:

1. Combine the ground beef, egg, parsley, onion, paprika, salt, and pepper. Lay out a piece of plastic wrap and spread an evenly thick layer of the ground beef mixture on it.

2. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the ground beef and use the plastic wrap to shape it into a roll. Freeze the ground beef roll for 90 minutes.

3. For the batter, combine the flour, eggs, salt, and milk and mix until smooth.

4. Take the ground beef roll out of the freezer and remove the plastic wrap. Cut the meat into about ½-inch thick slices.

5. Heat some oil in a pan, dredge the ground beef slices in the batter, and fry them in the hot oil for about 3-4 minutes per side.
