Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Heat a splash of oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add ground beef to the pan with the onion. Break it apart while it cooks, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until completely done, stirring occasionally.
- Drain excess grease from the cooked beef and transfer to a mixing bowl while hot.
- Mix in cubed or grated American cheese until melted and evenly distributed.
- Fold in the diced dill pickles and adjust seasoning if necessary. Set the filling aside to cool slightly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, and pickle juice for the dipping sauce. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F.
- Whisk the egg white and set up your rolling station with a cooling rack lined with paper towels.
Rolling and Frying
- Place an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape on your work surface. Spoon about two tablespoons of filling across the center.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling and tuck it snugly underneath.
- Seal the edges with egg white and roll tightly, folding in the side corners.
- Fry the egg rolls in small batches in preheated oil, cooking about 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove and place on a paper towel-lined rack to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm with the prepared dipping sauce.
Notes
For a lighter option, use air frying at 390°F for 9-11 minutes or bake at 425°F for about 15 minutes. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
