Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped pickles
- 1/4 cup diced onions (optional)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing wrappers)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess grease.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the beef. Stir well.
- Remove from heat and mix in cheddar cheese, pickles, and onions (if using). Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing towards you. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the filling near the center.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tucking it tightly. Fold the side corners inward, then roll up tightly, sealing the edge with beaten egg. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 365°F (185°C). Fry egg rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Avoid Overfilling Wrappers: Overfilling egg roll wrappers can cause them to tear or burst while frying. Stick to 2-3 tablespoons of filling per roll for the best results.
- Seal Wrappers Properly: Use beaten egg or water to seal the edges tightly to prevent the rolls from opening while cooking.
- Monitor Oil Temperature: If frying, keep the oil at a consistent 365°F (185°C). Oil that’s too hot will burn the wrappers, while oil that’s too cool will make the rolls greasy.
