Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup pickles, diced
- 1/4 cup red/green bell peppers, chopped (optional)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 egg (optional for egg wash)
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the onions, cooking until softened. Remove from heat.
- To the beef mixture, add the shredded cheddar cheese, mustard, ketchup, and pickles, mixing until evenly combined.
- Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Place a heaping tablespoon of the beef mixture on the wrapper.
- Fold in the sides of the wrapper and roll tightly, sealing the edge with a bit of water or egg wash (if using).
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
- Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Drain on paper towels and serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
Helpful Tips
Ensure the beef mixture is not too wet to prevent the egg rolls from becoming soggy. For a lighter version, bake the egg rolls at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until crispy, turning once halfway through. Customize the filling by adding bacon bits, tomato, or your choice of condiments to mimic your favorite cheeseburger variations.
