Ingredients
- 2 lb ground beef
- 4 slices bacon
- 1/2 white onion diced
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 c diced pickles or pickle relish
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 c cold water
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 c shredded cheese
- 15 to 20 egg roll wrappers or wonton wrappers
- Oil for frying
Instructions
Cook the bacon.
- Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté the onion and garlic.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Cook the ground beef.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, crumbling it as it is added. Cook until the beef is no longer pink.
Season the filling.
- Add the salt and black pepper. Stir until the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Drain excess fat.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and carefully drain any excess fat from the pan.
Add the bacon.
- Chop the cooked bacon into small pieces and add it to the ground beef mixture.
Add the pickles and cheese.
- Stir in the diced pickles or pickle relish and shredded cheese until fully combined.
Prepare the sealing mixture.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cold water and cornstarch until smooth.
Prepare the wrappers.
- Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean work surface. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the outer edges of the wrapper with the cornstarch mixture.
Add the filling.
- Place approximately 3 tbsp of the cheeseburger filling near one edge of the wrapper, leaving about 1/2 inch of space from the sides.
Roll the egg roll.
- Fold in the sides of the wrapper, then roll it lengthwise around the filling. Seal the edge securely.
Repeat the process.
- Continue filling and rolling the remaining wrappers until all of the beef mixture has been used.
Heat the oil.
- Add oil to a skillet until it is about 1/2 inch deep. Heat the oil over medium heat until hot.
Fry the egg rolls.
- Carefully place several egg rolls into the hot oil, working in batches. Fry, turning regularly, until all sides are golden brown and crisp.
Drain the egg rolls.
- Transfer the cooked egg rolls to paper towels or a cooling rack to drain excess oil.
Serve.
- Serve warm with a dipping sauce of choice. For a Big Mac-style dipping sauce, combine ketchup, mayonnaise, and pickle relish.
