Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

Cheeseburger Egg Rolls Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 1/2 cup dill pickles, finely chopped

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or American cheese for classic flavor)

• 2 tbsp ketchup

• 1 tbsp yellow mustard

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 12 egg roll wrappers

• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

Optional Dipping Sauce (aka “burger sauce”):

• 1/4 cup mayo

• 1 tbsp ketchup

• 1 tsp mustard

• 1 tsp pickle juice

• A pinch of paprika or garlic powder (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook the filling:

   • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion until browned. Drain excess grease.

   • Stir in pickles, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper. Let it cool slightly, then mix in the cheese.

2. Assemble the egg rolls:

   • Place a wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner facing you like a diamond.

   • Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the mixture near the center.

   • Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly. Seal the edge with a bit of water.

3. Fry ‘em up:

   • Heat oil (about 2 inches deep) to 350°F (175°C).

   • Fry egg rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

   • Drain on paper towels.

4. Serve:

   • Serve hot with dipping sauce on the side. Trust—these disappear fast.
