Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup pickles, chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
For assembling
  • 10 pieces egg roll wrappers
  • Oil for frying oil for frying For deep frying

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add the chopped onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook until the onions are soft, about 3-5 minutes.
Mixing
  1. Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the cheddar cheese and chopped pickles until everything is well combined.
Wrapping
  1. Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner pointing towards you.
  2. Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold the sides in and roll tightly.
  3. Use a little water to seal the top edge to prevent it from opening during frying. Repeat with the remaining wrappers.
Frying
  1. In a large pot or deep fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Carefully add a few egg rolls at a time, frying them for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Make sure not to overcrowd the pot!
Serving
  1. Remove the egg rolls and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
  2. Serve hot with your favorite condiments on the side.

Notes

For variations, substitute ground beef with halal ground chicken or turkey for a lighter version. You can also use plant-based ground meat for a vegetarian option. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
