Ingredients

Scale
Egg Rolls
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon hamburger seasoning
- 1/2 small yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
- 4 large dill pickles, finely diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (169.5 g)
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- 1 recipe onion bacon jam, prepared
Dipping Sauce
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (58 g)
- 2 teaspoons mustard
- 2 teaspoons ketchup
Instructions
- Cook Ground Beef: In a medium skillet over medium heat, combine ground beef and hamburger seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until no pink remains, approximately 10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain excess oil.
- Prepare Wrappers and Filling: Lay out 10 egg roll wrappers. For each wrapper, place near the center: 1 tablespoon of bacon jam, ¼ cup of the hamburger mixture, 1 teaspoon finely diced onion, 1 ½ tablespoons diced pickle, and 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese.
- Roll Egg Rolls: Lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the bottom corner over the filling and roll once. Then fold in the right and left corners toward the center, sealing edges with water as needed, forming an open envelope shape. Continue rolling tightly until fully wrapped, pressing to seal all edges.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
- Air Fry Egg Rolls: Place egg rolls in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Lightly spray the top of each egg roll with nonstick cooking spray. Air fry for 4 minutes, flip and spray again, then cook an additional 4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Make Dipping Sauce: While egg rolls cook, mix mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup in a small bowl until smooth.
- Serve: Serve the hot egg rolls immediately with the prepared dipping sauce for a delicious snack or appetizer.
Notes
- To fry instead of air fry: Heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F in a deep pot or fryer. Fry egg rolls in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden. Drain on paper towels.
- To bake: Preheat oven to 375°F, place egg rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, lightly spray or brush with oil, and bake 20 minutes, flipping halfway until crisp and golden.
- Ensure wrappers are sealed well to prevent filling leakage during cooking.
- Use sharp cheddar for best flavor; mild cheddar can be substituted for a less intense taste.
- The bacon jam should be prepared ahead of time or purchased pre-made.
