Instructions

1: Prepare the Filling

1. Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until it’s fully browned. Break it into crumbles as it cooks to ensure even cooking. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
2. Mix the Filling: Transfer the cooked beef to a large bowl. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, diced pickles, diced onions, ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir everything together until well combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before assembling the egg rolls.

2: Assemble the Egg Rolls

1. Set Up Your Workstation: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape).
2. Add the Filling: Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center of the wrapper.
3. Fold and Roll: Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly. Roll the wrapper up toward the top corner, ensuring the roll is tight. Use a small dab of water to seal the edges of the wrapper securely.
4. Repeat: Continue assembling the egg rolls until all the filling is used.

3: Fry the Egg Rolls

1. Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or fryer until it’s about 2 inches deep. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
2. Fry in Batches: Carefully place a few egg rolls into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the egg rolls are golden brown and crispy.
3. Drain and Cool: Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

4: Serve

Enjoy the egg rolls warm, paired with your favorite dipping sauces. Enjoy the delicious combination of crispy wrapper and cheesy, savory filling!
