Ingredients
Scale
- For the Filling:
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup pickles, diced (optional)
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- Salt and pepper, to taste

- For the Dipping Sauce (optional):
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon pickle juice (or diced pickles)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until browned. Drain excess grease. Stir in cheese, mustard, ketchup, pickles, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you. Place 2 tablespoons of filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly, sealing the top corner with water.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Heat 1-2 inches of oil in a deep pan to 350°F (180°C). Fry egg rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Make the Dipping Sauce: Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and pickle juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve: Serve warm with dipping sauce.
