Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 for best flavor)
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped dill pickles
Spring Rolls
- 12 spring roll wrappers (thawed if frozen)
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 3 tablespoons water
- Oil for frying or cooking spray for air frying
Dipping Sauces
- Mix of ketchup and mayonnaise
- Sweet chili sauce and sour cream
Instructions
- Cook the filling: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and diced onion, cooking until browned with crispy edges, about 7 minutes. Drain all grease from the skillet.
- Season and mix: Stir in ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Cook for another minute, then let the mixture cool for 5 minutes. Once cooled, mix in shredded cheese and chopped dill pickles.
- Prepare spring roll wrappers: Keep spring roll wrappers covered under a damp towel to prevent drying out. Prepare the sealing paste by mixing flour and water into a smooth paste.
- Assemble rolls: Place about 2 tablespoons of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the sides inward, roll tightly like a burrito, and seal the edges with the flour paste. Do not overfill to prevent bursting during cooking.
- Fry the spring rolls: Heat about 2 inches of oil in a frying pan to 350°F. Fry 3 to 4 rolls at a time for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Optional air frying: For a lighter version, spritz the rolls with oil and air fry at 390°F for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking for even crispness.
- Serve: Serve the hot Cheeseburger Spring Rolls with dipping sauces such as a mix of ketchup and mayonnaise or sweet chili sauce with sour cream.
- Freezing instructions: To freeze uncooked rolls, place them on a parchment-lined tray and freeze until solid. Transfer to a zip-top bag. Cook from frozen, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the cooking time.
Notes
- Use 80/20 ground beef for the best flavor and moisture balance.
- Keep spring roll wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent them from drying and cracking.
- You can substitute cheddar with American cheese or your favorite melty cheese.
- For a healthier option, try air frying instead of deep frying.
- Seal the rolls properly with flour paste to avoid filling leakage during frying.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper, according to preference.
- Use fresh dill pickles for the best crunch and flavor contrast.
- Cook rolls in small batches to maintain oil temperature and prevent sogginess.
