Ingredients
  

Filling Ingredients
  • 1/2 lb ground beef Tender and juicy, this acts as the foundation of your filling.
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar Rich and creamy, adding a melt-in-your-mouth goodness.
  • 1/4 cup diced onions Offering a sweet crunch that elevates the flavor.
  • 1 tbsp ketchup A touch of sweetness that makes everything better.
  • 1 tbsp mustard Adding that tangy bite, enhancing the overall taste.
  • 1/2 tsp salt Essential for bringing all the flavors together.
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper For a little extra kick in every bite.
Egg Roll Assembly
  • 6 count egg roll wrappers The crunchy exterior that holds all the goodness inside.
  • 1 count egg, beaten Used for sealing those beautiful rolls.
  • Oil for frying For achieving that perfect golden-brown color.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the diced onions until browned and fragrant. Drain any excess fat to keep your egg rolls crispy.
  2. Add the ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper to the beef mixture. Stir well and let the filling cool slightly. Cooling prevents the wrappers from steaming during frying.
  3. Once cooled, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until well-combined.
Assembly and Cooking
  1. Take an egg roll wrapper and place a generous spoonful of the beef filling in the center. Roll it tightly, then use the beaten egg to seal the edges.
  2. In a deep pot or fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry each egg roll in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Remove the egg rolls with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. Serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For added flavor, consider including minced garlic or pickles in the filling. If baking, brush egg rolls lightly with oil and bake at 400°F for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
