Equipment

  • Air fryer

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper or more to taste
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1/2 cup dill pickle drained and finely diced
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 8-10 egg roll wrappers
  • cooking spray

Instructions

Cheeseburger Filling:

  • To a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, salt, pepper, onion, garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and cook until the beef is no longer pink, breaking up large chunks.
  • Add ketchup and mustard stirring to combine well and cook 1 minute.
  • Remove from the heat. Drain any excess oil then blend in the cheese and diced pickle.

Rolling the Egg Rolls:

  • Unwrap 10 egg roll wrappers. Add a little water to a small bowl (this is what you’ll use to seal the egg roll wrappers).
  • Work one sheet at a time and keep the remaining wrappers covered with a damp paper towel to keep them from becoming dry and brittle.
  • Place an egg roll wrapper with the corner facing you then add 1/4 cup of meat mixture.
  • Using your finger or a pastry brush, add a dab of water to all edges of the egg roll wrapper then fold the bottom corner and make one complete turn.
  • Next fold in the right and left corners of the wrapper (it should look like an open envelope) pressing gently to seal and adding water as needed.
  • Continue rolling  then press gently to seal all edges (this is important so the cheese doesn’t ooze out).

Air Frying:

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
    Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray then place egg rolls seam down in a single layer.
  • Spritz with cooking spray (or brush with olive oil) and air fryer 3-5 minutes. 
    Turn the egg rolls over, spritz again with cooking spray and air fry 3-4 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
  • Remove from the air fryer. Eat right away with Big Mac Sauce, ketchup or mustard.

Big Mac Sauce:

  • Combine in a bowl: 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon yellow mustard, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar and 3 tablespoons pickle relish.
