Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef 80/20 blend recommended
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion finely diced
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup dill pickles finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 3 cups vegetable oil for frying, or cooking spray for air fryer/baking
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp dill pickle relish
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Large Pot, Air Fryer, or Baking Sheet Depending on chosen cooking method

Instructions
 

  1. Cook the Beef Filling: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until browned. Drain excess grease. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
  2. Mix the Filling: Once cooled, stir the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped dill pickles into the beef mixture.
  3. Assemble the Eggrolls: Place an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner up, then fold in the side corners. Brush the top corner with beaten egg and roll up tightly to seal.
  4. Cook: Choose your method. Deep-Fry at 350°F for 3-5 minutes. Air Fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping once. Bake at 425°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping once.
  5. Make the Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients: mayonnaise, ketchup, dill pickle relish, white vinegar, sugar, onion powder, and garlic powder. Chill until ready to serve.
  6. Serve: Serve the hot and crispy cheeseburger eggrolls immediately with the chilled dipping sauce.

Notes

Let the filling cool completely before wrapping to prevent the wrappers from becoming soggy.
Don't overcrowd the fryer or air fryer basket; cook in batches for the crispiest results.
The dipping sauce tastes even better if made ahead of time, allowing the flavors to meld.
