Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cup neutral oil for frying vegetable or canola
- 1 lb ground beef 85–90% lean works best
- 0.5 cup finely chopped yellow onion
- 1.5 tsp minced garlic
- 0.75 tsp kosher salt or to taste
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 2.5 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1.25 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.33 cup finely chopped dill pickles plus a splash of pickle juice if you like
- 1.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese medium or sharp
- 12 oz egg roll wrappers about 14–16 wrappers
- 1.5 tsp cornstarch for sealing slurry
- 2.5 tbsp water for sealing slurry
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat the oil in a deep skillet to about 350°F, or preheat an air fryer to 380°F.
- Brown the ground beef with the onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Drain excess fat. Stir in garlic, salt, and pepper; cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Mix in ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire. Simmer 1 minute, then fold in pickles and cheddar until the cheese melts. Let cool 5 minutes.
- Whisk cornstarch with water to make a thin slurry for sealing.
- Lay a wrapper like a diamond. Spoon about 3 tablespoons filling near the lower corner.
- Fold bottom over the filling, tuck sides in, and roll up tightly. Brush the tip with slurry to seal.
- Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Fry in batches 3–4 minutes, turning, until deeply golden. Drain on a rack or paper towels.
- For air fryer: Spray rolls lightly with oil and cook 8–10 minutes, turning halfway, until crisp and browned.
Notes
Try adding cooked crumbled bacon or a pinch of smoked paprika to the filling. Serve with burger sauce, ketchup-mustard mix, or ranch. To reheat, bake at 375°F for 8–10 minutes or air-fry 3–4 minutes until crisp. Freeze uncooked rolls on a sheet tray, then bag; cook from frozen, adding a few minutes.
