My oldest child’s favorite food on the planet is burgers. He’d eat them every single night if he could but…everyone’s getting a little sick of burgers?! Cheeseburger Quesadillas though? Can’t get enough. They’re crispy, cheesy, and seriously irresistable. We’ve been eating them on repeat over the past few weeks — they are such a treat!
Watch How to Make Them!
Cheeseburger Quesadillas
Browned ground beef is mixed with ketchup and mustard then layered in a tortilla with shredded cheddar cheese, your favorite burger toppings (I love diced onion and pickles), topped with MORE cheese, then crisped in a hot skillet. Want to add bacon? You should. Sauteed mushrooms? Go for it! That said, I’m not including any ingredient measurements in the recipe card. No need! One component I am including specifics for is the Special Sauce you’ll want to smother each bite in. Cannot have burgers – in any form – without special sauce.
Best of all, we always have the ingredients to make Cheeseburger Quesadillas on hand so I can brown a pound of ground beef then quickly make these for lunch, dinner, or hearty snack. So good, so easy — let’s do this!
How to Make This Recipe
Start by adding browned ground beef to a bowl with ketchup and mustard. I like using a 2:1 ratio of ketchup to mustard but it’s totally up to you. One thing I will say is that you want the mixture to be more on the saucy vs dry side. You can brown the ground beef in a skillet, or use my method for cooking ground beef like a restaurant.
Heat a flat skillet or griddle over medium heat then spray with nonstick spray. Place a tortilla down (I like Mission gluten free tortillas,) then add a thin layer of shredded cheddar cheese, followed by the ground beef mixture.
Next add your favorite toppings. I went with lots of diced white onion and pickles.
Lastly, add another thin layer of shredded cheddar cheese and top with another tortilla.
Cook until both sides are crisp then slide onto a cutting board, wait five minutes, and slice. Mix up the ingredients for the Special Sauce (recipe below) then DEVOUR. I hope you love this mouthwatering classic cheeseburger with a twist! Enjoy!
