Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups freshly grated cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup diced dill pickle
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Wrappers
- 1 package Wonton wrappers (or spring roll wrappers, 12-15 wrappers)
Frying
- Vegetable oil, about 1-2 cups (for frying)
Instructions
- Cook the filling: In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook and crumble the ground beef along with the chopped onion until the beef is no longer pink and the onion is soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet and return it to heat.
- Add flavor and cheese: Stir in the grated cheddar cheese, diced dill pickles, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce into the hot beef mixture. Continue stirring until the cheese has fully melted and the mixture is well combined.
- Assemble the egg rolls: Lay a wonton or spring roll wrapper flat on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Spoon 3-4 heaping spoonfuls of the beef and cheese mixture near the bottom corner of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the left and right sides toward the center, and continue to roll tightly upward to enclose the filling.
- Seal the wrappers: Dab a few drops of water along the top corner edge of the wrapper to act as glue, then press firmly to seal the edge and prevent the egg roll from opening during frying.
- Fry the egg rolls: Pour vegetable oil into a deep frying pan to a depth of about 1/2 inch. Heat the oil to 325°F (160°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes or until the wrappers are crisp and deep golden brown. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil and stay crispy.
Notes
- Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature (325°F) before frying to prevent soggy or greasy egg rolls.
- Do not overfill the wrappers to avoid tearing or bursting while frying.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor. Pair with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.
- Wonton wrappers can be found in the refrigerated section of many grocery stores or Asian markets.
- Leftover egg rolls can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to retain crispiness.
