Add a little oil to a pan and turn to medium-high heat. Add beef mixture to pan + oil and cook about 5-8 minutes, until browned and fully cooked.
Drain the ground beef then add to a large bowl. Add the shredded cheese and mix until completely combined. Cheese should melt well from the warm beef.
Grab your stack of wonton wrappers and one by one, lay them out and moisten the inside edges with cold water.
Scoop a little less than 1 Tablespoon into the middle of the wonton wrappers.
Fold the wonton wrapper over itself and then crimp with a fork to seal.
Repeat with each cheeseburger bite until they are all filled and/or the filling is gone. Set aside while you prepare your frying oil.
Fill a large pot or dutch oven with oil and bring to 350 degrees F.
Fry your cheeseburger bites, careful not to overcrowd, until they are brown and crispy.
Set your fried cheeseburger bites on a cooling rack with paper towels underneath to catch any oil drippings.
Repeat until all cheeseburger bites are fried.
Then, serve with your favorite dipping sauce like mustard, ketchup, special sauce, etc. Enjoy!
Notes
You could also add ground mustard, jalapeño, tomato, bacon, etc. to your ground beef mixture for additional options.
