Do you ever have that moment of panic when dinner time rolls around and you realize that you have nothing to make?? I had that this weekend, and had to get a little creative. We were supposed to get our Grocery Pickup the next morning (side note- if you aren’t using Walmart Grocery Pickup..you should be! Save $10 with this link!), and it was just a total failure to plan on my part.
I started digging around in my fridge and pantry and found a few things: a half used pack of fresh bacon that needed to be cooked, a pound of frozen beef, a stray white onion, a half used pack of tortillas….it got my wheels turning! Why not try out a new quesadilla recipe? We love quesadillas around here, and they are super easy for the toddler, too! After a little further inventory of my spices, I landed on a bacon cheeseburger flavor!
I have to say, the end result turned out to be something beautiful! It is officially in our intentional meal rotation! With some planning, next time I will have more of the burger toppings on hand for those that want them (mustard, pickles, etc). Read on to get the recipe!
First, you will want to cut up your bacon into small pieces and fry it until it reaches a crispy state!
Add in diced onions and sautée until translucent!
Next, the ground beef! Cook until it is browned through.
My favorite way to toast quesadillas is actually under the broiler, not in a pan! Sure, they are yummy in a pan, but this allows you a perfect restaurant crisp texture and you can achieve it with far less grease (and flipping!).
Simply spray cooking spray (or you can butter) a tortilla and lay that sprayed side down on the pan.
Next, it’s time for your filling ingredients! I actually smeared mayo on these shells prior to adding the beef/bacon mixture, but I forgot to take a picture of that step! Totally optional, but added that burger taste.
Then you lay your top shell on and spray that! The spray allows it to get toasty without being hard.
Place them under the broiler until they reach a toasty brown, and then flip and repeat for the other side!
Last, just cut them into triangles and serve with ketchup! (Or you know…whatever else you like on your burgers!)
