Ingredients

Scale

Filling

1 pound ground beef (80/20 for best flavor)
1 small onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped dill pickles

Spring Rolls

12 spring roll wrappers (thawed if frozen)
2 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons water
Oil for frying (or oil spray for air frying)

Dipping Sauces

Mix of ketchup and mayonnaise
Or sweet chili sauce and sour cream

Instructions

Cook Filling: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and finely diced onion, cooking until browned with crispy edges, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain all grease thoroughly to avoid sogginess.
Season Filling: Stir in ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Allow filling to cool for 5 minutes to prevent melting the wrappers during assembly. Then mix in shredded cheese and chopped dill pickles evenly.
Prepare Wrappers: Keep spring roll wrappers covered under a damp towel to prevent drying out. Prepare the sealing paste by mixing 2 tablespoons of flour with 3 tablespoons of water until smooth.
Assemble Spring Rolls: Place 2 tablespoons of the cooled filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly like a burrito. Seal the edges with the flour paste, ensuring no filling escapes. Avoid overfilling to maintain crispness and ease of rolling.
Fry Spring Rolls: Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry 3 to 4 rolls at a time for 3 to 4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Air Fry Option: Alternatively, spritz assembled rolls lightly with oil and air-fry at 390°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
Serve and Store: Serve hot with dipping sauces such as mixed ketchup and mayonnaise or sweet chili sauce with sour cream. Uncooked spring rolls can be frozen on a parchment-lined tray until solid, then transferred to a zip-top bag. Cook from frozen by adding 1 to 2 minutes to the frying or air frying time.

Notes

Drain all grease from cooked beef to avoid soggy spring rolls.
Keep wrappers covered to prevent them from drying and cracking.
Do not overfill spring rolls to ensure even cooking and easy rolling.
Both frying and air frying methods work well; frying results in a classic deep-fried texture while air frying is a lighter option.
Spring rolls can be frozen uncooked and cooked directly from frozen for convenient make-ahead snack preparation.
Use 80/20 ground beef for optimal flavor and moisture balance.
Ensure oil temperature is consistent when frying to achieve crispness without greasiness.
