# Components:

→ Filling

01 - 1 pound ground beef
02 - 1 small onion, finely diced
03 - 1/2 cup chopped dill pickles
04 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
05 - 1 tablespoon ketchup
06 - 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
07 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
08 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
09 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Wrapping

10 - 12 spring roll wrappers, approximately 8-inch squares
11 - 1 egg, beaten

→ Frying

12 - Vegetable oil, for deep frying

→ Optional Dipping Sauce

13 - 1/4 cup mayonnaise
14 - 2 tablespoons ketchup
15 - 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
16 - 1 teaspoon dill pickle juice
17 - 1/2 teaspoon paprika

# Directions:

01 - Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess fat thoroughly.
02 - Add the finely diced onion to the skillet. Sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.
03 - Stir in the chopped dill pickles, ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes.
04 - Gently stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it is evenly distributed throughout the filling.
05 - Place a spring roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface with one corner facing you. Spoon approximately 2 heaping tablespoons of the cooled filling near the bottom corner. Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper up over the filling. Next, fold in the left and right sides of the wrapper. Roll the filling tightly towards the remaining corner to enclose it completely. Seal the edge with the beaten egg.
06 - Continue this process with the remaining spring roll wrappers and filling until all have been formed.
07 - Heat approximately 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the spring rolls in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per batch, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove the fried spring rolls from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
08 - In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, dill pickle juice, and paprika until well combined.
09 - Serve the cheeseburger spring rolls hot, accompanied by the prepared dipping sauce.
