Ingredients

Scale

1 lb ground beef (80/20 preferred, but leaner works)
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 slices American cheese, chopped
1/2 cup dill pickles, diced
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons ketchup
12–15 egg roll wrappers
1 egg, beaten (for sealing wrappers)
Vegetable oil, for frying (enough for 2–3 inches in skillet or pot)

Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook for 3–4 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon.
Add diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until beef is no longer pink and onions are soft, about 3–5 more minutes. Drain excess grease.
Season with salt and pepper. Stir in cheddar cheese, American cheese, pickles, mustard, and ketchup. Mix until cheese is just melted and filling is gooey and well-blended. Remove from heat and let cool for 5–10 minutes.
Lay out egg roll wrappers and cover with a damp towel. Beat the egg in a small bowl for sealing.
Place one wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of filling into the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Brush the top corner with egg wash and seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
To fry: Heat 2–3 inches of oil to 350°F in a deep fryer or heavy pot. Fry egg rolls in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Remove to a wire rack or paper towels.
To bake: Preheat oven to 425°F. Place egg rolls on a parchment-lined sheet pan, spray with cooking spray, and bake for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
To air fry: Spray egg rolls with oil and air fry at 400°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping once.
Let egg rolls cool for 1–2 minutes before serving. Serve hot with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Chill the filling if it seems runny for easier rolling. Don’t overstuff the wrappers. Seal edges well with egg wash to prevent leaks. Fry in batches and drain on a wire rack for best crispness. You can prep ahead and refrigerate or freeze before cooking. Try variations like adding bacon, jalapeños, or using plant-based meat for vegetarian options.
