In a large skillet, add the olive oil and heat on medium high. Once hot, add the onion, but keep 1 tablespoon of diced onion aside for the sauce, and stir until softened, 4-5 minutes.
Add the ground beef, and cook thoroughly until browned and the liquid has evaporated, 8-10 minutes.
Add in the salt, black pepper, and spices, mixing thoroughly. Let the beef filling cool completely.

Slice each cheddar cheese slice in half, and place the cheese near the corner of the spring roll wrapper. Add a heaped tablespoon of the ground beef filling onto the cheese.
Pull up the corner of the spring roll wrapper, up and over the ground beef filling, then tuck in the sides of the spring roll and roll the whole thing up like a burrito. Add a little flour paste to seal the spring roll shut. Repeat with all the filling and spring roll wrappers. You can see the method demonstrated in the video in the recipe card.
Place the vegetable oil in a deep skillet, and heat on medium high. Once the oil is very hot, add in the spring rolls, and cook until deep golden brown, turning over occasionally, 2-3 minutes. Do this in batches so you don't overcrowd the pan. Place on a paper towel lined platter.

Mix together all the ingredients for the dipping sauce, and serve alongside the cooked spring rolls.

Ingredient Notes:

Sweet pickle relish can be swapped with finely chopped sweet pickles.
Yellow mustard can be substituted with Dijon or another other mustard.
Spring roll wrappers are typically found in the freezer section of supermarkets.
The flour and water paste is important for sealing the wrappers—make sure it’s thick enough to hold.

Storing Leftovers:

Cooked spring rolls can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Let them cool completely, wrap in paper towels, and store in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven, air fryer (180C/350F for 4–5 minutes), or a skillet. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
To freeze uncooked spring rolls: assemble and place in a single layer on a tray in the freezer until solid (1–2 hours), then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. Fry from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to the cook time.
Cooked spring rolls can also be frozen once fully cooled, then reheated from frozen at 180C/350F in the oven or air fryer until hot and crispy.

Tips and Tricks:

Let the beef filling cool completely before wrapping to prevent the wrappers from tearing or getting soggy.
Use about 1–2 tablespoons of filling per roll—overfilling can cause the rolls to burst during frying.
Seal the wrappers well using flour paste or water to keep the filling in while cooking.
Fry or air fry in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lower the oil temperature and result in greasy, unevenly cooked rolls.
Make as many as you plan to eat fresh, and freeze the rest for easy cooking later—they freeze and reheat beautifully.
