• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp yellow mustard
• 0.33 cup diced pickles

Frying

Equipment

• Skillet
• Mixing bowls
• Tongs
• Wire rack

Method

 

1. Cook ground beef and onions in a skillet until browned, then drain excess grease.
2. Add salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and mustard. Stir and cook 1 minute.
3. Remove from heat and stir in diced pickles and shredded cheddar cheese.
4. Place filling in egg roll wrappers, fold sides, roll tightly, and seal with water.
5. Fry at 350°F (175°C) until golden, about 3–4 minutes.
6. Drain on a wire rack and serve hot with dipping sauce.

Notes

Cool the filling before rolling to prevent wrapper tearing. Use a wire rack to maintain crispiness.

2. Add Pickles and Cheese

Once beef cools enough to prevent melting the cheese immediately, stir in:

• Diced pickles
• Shredded cheddar cheese

This creates the classic cheeseburger flavor inside a thick, scoopable filling.

3. Assemble Egg Rolls

Place an egg roll wrapper like a diamond. Add 2–3 tablespoons of beef mixture near the bottom.

Fold bottom corner up, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal with water.

Tip: Tighter rolls = crispier texture + no leaks.

4. Fry Until Golden

Heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry rolls for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally.

Transfer to a wire rack to keep them crispy.

5. Serve Immediately

Serve hot with your favorite burger-style dipping sauces.
