How to make Cheeseburger Dumpling Poppers

1. In a large skillet, cook 1/2 lb lean ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease thoroughly.
2. Add 1/4 cup finely diced yellow onion to the cooked beef and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
3. Transfer the beef and onion mixture to a medium bowl. Stir in 2 tbsp finely diced dill pickle, 1 tbsp ketchup, 1 tsp mustard, 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix well.
4. Once the beef mixture has cooled to room temperature, stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese. This prevents the cheese from melting prematurely during assembly.
5. Lay out one gyoza or wonton wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Place approximately 1 heaping teaspoon of the cheeseburger filling in the center of the wrapper.
6. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water using your fingertip. Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon or triangle shape, pressing firmly to seal the edges and remove air pockets. You can crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
7. Prepare the optional Special Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp ketchup, 1 tbsp sweet pickle relish, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, and 1/4 tsp paprika until smooth. Set aside.
8. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the cheeseburger dumplings in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
9. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, turning with tongs, until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches as needed, adding more oil if necessary.
10. Remove the cooked dumplings from the skillet and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
11. Serve the Cheeseburger Dumpling Poppers hot with the special sauce for dipping, or with extra ketchup and mustard on the side.
