For the Filling:

1. 1 lb ground beef
2. 1 small onion, finely chopped
3. 1 clove garlic, minced
4. 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
5. 1 teaspoon salt
6. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
7. 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8. 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
9. 1/4 cup dill pickles, finely chopped
10. 1/4 cup ketchup
11. 1 tablespoon yellow mustard

For the Egg Rolls:

1. 10-12 egg roll wrappers
2. Water, for sealing wrappers

Instructions:

1. Cook the Beef: Combine the ground beef and chopped onion in a large pan over medium-high heat.
   Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spoon, or until the beef is browned and the onion is tender.
2. Add the Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and chopped garlic. Simmer for two more minutes.
   Take off the heat and pour off any extra fat.
3. Get the Filling Ready:
   The cooked beef mixture, diced dill pickles, shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese, ketchup, and yellow mustard should all be combined in a large mixing basin.
4. Mix well until fully incorporated. Allow the mixture to cool a little.
5. Assemble Your Desk:
6. The egg roll wrappers should be laid out on a dry, clean surface.
7. Keep a little dish of water close by so you can seal the wrapper edges.
8. To fill the egg roll wrappers, place approximately two teaspoons of the cheeseburger filling in the middle of each one.
9. The wrapper should be folded with the bottom corner over the filling, the sides folded in, and the roll firmly.
10. To seal the egg roll, wet the upper corner of the wrapper with water.
11. Continue with the remaining filling and wrappers.
12. Preheat the Air Fryer: Give your air fryer a five-minute warmup period at 400°F (200°C).
    Prepare the egg rolls:
13. Olive oil spray should be used sparingly on the air fryer basket.
14. Make sure the egg rolls are not touching when you place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Depending on how big your air fryer is, you might have to cook in batches.
15. Apply a little layer of olive oil spray to the egg roll tops.
    Egg rolls should be air-fried for 8 to 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C), turning halfway through, or until crispy and golden brown.
16. To serve, take the fried egg rolls and place them on a dish.
17. Serve right away with your preferred dipping sauces, including ranch dressing, ketchup, mustard, or special sauce.
18. Garnish: You may add a dash of sesame seeds or some finely chopped fresh parsley for an added touch.
19.  Success Strategies Even for Cooking: Make sure the air fryer basket is not overfilled to guarantee even frying. Cook, if needed, in batches.
20. Sealing the Wrappers: Make sure the egg roll wrappers are sealed tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
21. Crispiness: For extra crispy egg rolls, give them a light spray of olive oil before air frying. This helps to achieve a golden, crunchy exterior.
