Method
 

Cooking the Filling
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with the chopped onion. Stir regularly until the beef is cooked through and the onions are softened. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Mix in the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Blend thoroughly and remove from heat.
  3. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before gently stirring in the shredded cheddar cheese and adding pickles if desired.
Rolling the Egg Rolls
  1. Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the cheeseburger filling into the center.
  2. Fold the bottom corner up over the mixture, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly towards the top corner. Seal using a small amount of water to moisten the edges.
Frying
  1. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  2. Fry the egg rolls in batches for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serving
  1. Serve the egg rolls hot with your choice of dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing.

Notes

You can prepare the cheeseburger filling a day in advance. Consider baking the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) for a healthier twist.
