Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
- In a skillet, cook 1 pound of ground beef over medium heat until browned.
- Add diced onions and cook until translucent.
- Stir in 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons mustard, and chopped pickles. Mix well.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly before adding 1 cup of shredded cheese. Stir until cheese melts.
Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner facing you (diamond shape).
- Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly and seal the top corner with egg wash.
- Repeat until all the filling is used.
Step 3: Fry to Perfection
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the egg rolls in batches, 3-4 at a time, until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per batch).
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the egg rolls hot with dipping sauces such as ranch, barbecue sauce, or spicy mayo.
Notes
- Cool the Filling: Ensure the filling is not too hot when assembling the egg rolls to avoid soggy wrappers.
- Roll Tightly: Prevents oil from seeping into the egg roll during frying.
- Don’t Overfill: Too much filling can cause the wrapper to tear.
- Test Oil Temperature: Use a thermometer to maintain a steady frying temperature.
- Work Quickly: Assemble the egg rolls just before frying to prevent the wrappers from drying out.
