Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (453 grams) ground beef
Dairy and Cheese:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) shredded cheddar cheese
Additional Fillings and Seasonings:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) diced pickles
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) ketchup
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Wrapper and Cooking:
- Egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a skillet heated to medium, sauté ground beef and onions until meat browns and onions become translucent, approximately 5-7 minutes. Carefully drain excess grease to prevent soggy texture.
- Incorporate ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper into the meat mixture. Simmer for an additional minute to enhance flavor integration.
- Remove skillet from heat and fold in shredded cheddar cheese and diced pickles, allowing residual warmth to create a creamy consistency.
- Position egg roll wrapper on clean surface, centering a portion of beef mixture. Fold wrapper edges inward, rolling tightly like a compact parcel. Seal edges using water as adhesive.
- Prepare oil in deep fryer or large skillet, maintaining temperature at 350°F. Fry egg rolls in batches to ensure even golden-brown coloration, rotating once during 3-4 minute cooking process.
- Transfer crispy rolls onto paper towels, allowing excess oil to drain. Let rest briefly before serving to maintain optimal crunch and temperature.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and make the egg rolls less greasy, ensuring a crispier texture.
- brush with olive oil and bake at 425°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through to achieve an even golden crunch.
- Make these egg rolls gluten-free by using gluten-free egg roll wrappers and checking that all ingredients are certified gluten-free, perfect for those with dietary restrictions.
