- 20 min
- Servings
- 12 egg rolls
Ingredients
Egg rolls
- 1 lb (450 g) lean ground beef
- 1/2 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1/4 cup chopped dill pickles
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Special dipping sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp sweet pickle relish
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
- 1.
Brown the beef and onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat, about 7 minutes. Drain off excess fat.
- 2.
Stir in garlic powder, salt, pepper, mustard, ketchup, and pickles. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes, then stir in the cheddar.
- 3.
Lay an egg roll wrapper on the counter like a diamond. Place about 3 tablespoons of filling just below the center. Fold the bottom corner over, fold in the sides, and roll up tightly. Brush the top corner with beaten egg to seal. Repeat.
- 4.
Heat 2 inches of oil in a heavy pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry egg rolls 3–4 at a time, turning occasionally, until deep golden, 3–4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel–lined rack.
- 5.
Whisk all sauce ingredients together. Slice egg rolls in half diagonally and serve warm with the sauce.
Make It Special!
- Serve standing upright in a basket lined with burger-joint checkered paper.
- Air fryer option: brush with oil and cook at 390°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Make ahead: roll up to 1 day early, cover, and refrigerate. Fry just before guests arrive.
