Ingredients
Scale
Ground Beef Mixture
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup diced pickles (optional)
Quesadilla
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for griddle)
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: Preheat the Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat. Add butter or oil to coat the surface. Cook the ground beef, breaking it apart as it browns. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir in ketchup and mustard once beef is cooked through, then mix in diced onions and optional pickles. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the Quesadillas: Lightly clean the griddle surface and reduce heat to medium. Place two tortillas on the griddle and sprinkle each evenly with a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
- Assemble and Cook: Add a generous layer of the seasoned beef mixture over the cheese on each tortilla. Top with more shredded cheese and then place a second tortilla on top.
- Griddle and Melt: Cook the assembled quesadillas for 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Serve: Remove the quesadillas from the griddle, slice into wedges, and serve hot. Add optional toppings like shredded lettuce, tomatoes, or burger sauce for a fully loaded cheeseburger flavor.
Notes
- Add toppings such as shredded lettuce, tomatoes, or your favorite burger sauce after cooking to enhance the cheeseburger experience.
- Customize the cheese by using pepper jack for a spicier kick.
- Pickles are optional and can be omitted if preferred.
- Be sure to press the quesadilla gently while cooking to ensure even browning and melting.
- Use a griddle or large flat skillet if a Blackstone griddle is not available.
