Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup freshly grated cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced dill pickle
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

For Wrapping & Frying

  • 12 wonton wrappers
  • Vegetable oil, for frying (about 2 cups)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef along with the finely chopped yellow onion until the meat is fully browned and onions are translucent. Drain any excess fat from the pan to keep the filling from being greasy.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: Transfer the cooked beef and onions to a bowl. Stir in the freshly grated cheddar cheese, diced dill pickles, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix thoroughly to combine all flavors evenly.
  3. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place approximately 2-3 tablespoons of the cheeseburger filling in the center of the wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold the sides over the filling and tightly roll it up, sealing the edges to prevent leaking during frying.
  4. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain accurate temperature for optimal crispiness and minimal oil absorption.
  5. Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully add the egg rolls to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry each for about 3-4 minutes or until the wrappers turn golden brown and crispy. Turn occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  6. Drain and Serve: Remove the fried egg rolls with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce like ketchup, mustard, or a special burger sauce.

Notes

  • You can prepare the filling ahead of time and refrigerate it to save prep time later.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the filling mix.
  • Make sure to seal the egg rolls tightly to prevent oil from seeping inside during frying.
  • Leftover egg rolls can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to regain crispiness.
  • Use fresh wonton wrappers for best texture; they are usually found in the refrigerated section of Asian markets or grocery stores.
