Instructions

1. Make the Filling

1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned.
2. Add onions and cook until softened.
3. Drain excess grease.
4. Stir in pickles, ketchup, mustard, and cheese until melted.
5. Let mixture cool slightly (important—too hot and wrappers tear).

2. Assemble the Egg Rolls

1. Lay an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape.
2. Spoon ~2 tbsp of filling near the bottom corner.
3. Fold bottom corner over filling, fold sides in, then roll tightly.
4. Brush a little oil or water on the top corner to seal.

3. Fry

• Heat 2–3 inches of oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
• Fry egg rolls 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
• Drain on paper towels.

Tips

• Baking option: Brush with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway.
• Cheese melt: Don’t skip letting the filling cool slightly—hot cheese can ooze and make rolling messy.
• Make-ahead: Assemble and freeze uncooked egg rolls; fry straight from frozen (add 1–2 minutes to cooking).

Serving

• Serve hot with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite burger dipping sauce.
• Perfect as an appetizer, party snack, or indulgent meal.
