Instructions
This recipe is very easy to make. In fact, it's so easy, I've included directions for oil frying and air frying!
Step 1: Prep
Chop dill pickles, dice the onions and more dill pickles, and measure out all of your ingredients.
Step 2: Cook the Beef Mixture
Cook ground beef, mustard, ketchup, salt, and pepper over medium heat in a skillet until the beef is no longer pink. Drain.
Step 3: Make the Egg Rolls
Lay each egg roll wrapper out on a clean surface. Sprinkle shredded cheese on the center of the egg roll wrapper and top with the beef mixture and diced pickles. Then, fold the sides of the egg roll wrapper in, tightly fold the bottom up, and roll and seal the top fold with a few drops of water.
Step 4 A: Cook in Oil
Line a plate with a paper towel.
Next, put an inch of oil in a medium skillet and heat over medium heat. Allow the oil to heat until it starts to form small bubbles.
Add the egg rolls and fry on each side until golden brown. Transfer the cooked egg rolls to your prepared plate.
Step 4 B: Air Fry
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.
Cook the egg rolls for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking process.
Step 5: Make the Big Mac Sauce
Mix the mayonnaise, pickles, sugar, mustard, ketchup, and paprika together in a small bowl. Serve with the egg rolls and enjoy!
Hint: If frying the egg rolls in oil, I recommend using vegetable oil. It has very little flavor and a high smoke point, making it perfect for frying.
