Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

1/2 cup finely diced onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup dill pickle relish

1 tablespoon ketchup

1 tablespoon mustard

Salt and pepper, to taste

10-12 egg roll wrappers

Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

Optional: sesame seeds for garnish

Optional: sliced tomatoes, lettuce, and additional burger toppings of your choice

Instructions
 

Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook the mixture for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the beef is thoroughly browned and the onions become translucent. Once cooked, carefully drain any excess fat from the skillet.

    Prepare the Filling: Lower the heat to a simmer and add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, dill pickle relish, ketchup, mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the cooked beef mixture. Stir everything together until well combined, allowing the cheese to melt slightly. Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool for a few minutes.

      Assemble the Egg Rolls: On a clean, flat surface, place an egg roll wrapper in front of you with one corner pointing towards you, creating a diamond shape. Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the cheeseburger filling into the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then carefully fold in the sides before rolling it tightly towards the top corner. Seal the edge of the wrapper using a little water to help it stick.

        Heat the Oil: In a deep pot or fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of bread into the oil; it should sizzle immediately upon contact.

          Fry the Egg Rolls: Gently place 3-4 egg rolls into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd them. Fry the egg rolls for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until they turn a lovely golden brown and achieve a crispy texture. Once done, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

            Serve and Enjoy: Continue frying the remaining egg rolls following the same method. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for an added crunch. Serve the mini cheeseburger egg rolls hot, accompanied by extra ketchup, mustard, or your preferred dipping sauce. Garnish with fresh sliced tomatoes, lettuce, or any other toppings of your choice to elevate the presentation.
