I first tried this recipe after stumbling across it on a Facebook Page called Recipes by Lisa. She has a treasure trove of creative, flavorful ideas, and this one really stood out to me. As someone who loves both cheeseburgers and quesadillas, I was hooked the moment I made it—and I know you will be too! So let’s dive into how to make this delicious meal at home.

A Fun Fusion with a Blackstone Twist

Cheeseburger quesadillas bring together the savory goodness of juicy beef, tangy ketchup and mustard, and melty cheddar cheese, all packed into crispy flour tortillas. Cooking this on a Blackstone griddle adds an extra layer of flavor, giving the quesadillas a smoky, crispy finish that takes them over the top. Don't have a Blackstone? No worries! You can still whip these up on a regular skillet and they’ll turn out just as delicious.

This dish is great for casual gatherings, quick meals, or even just for yourself when you're craving something indulgent but easy to make. The best part is how versatile this recipe is—you can add your favorite toppings like pickles, onions, or even jalapeños for a spicy kick!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or substitute with American cheese slices)
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1/4 cup diced onions
• 1/4 cup diced pickles (optional)
• 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions:

1. Cook the Beef:
   Preheat your Blackstone griddle (or a skillet) to medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, seasoning it with salt and pepper, and cook until it's browned and fully cooked through. Drain the excess fat. Stir in the ketchup and mustard to infuse the beef with that signature burger flavor.
2. Prepare the Quesadillas:
   Spread butter on one side of each flour tortilla. On the unbuttered side, sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese. Top the cheese with a portion of the cooked beef, diced onions, pickles (optional), and diced tomatoes. Add another layer of cheese on top before placing a second tortilla over the filling, with the buttered side facing out.
3. Grill on the Blackstone:
   Place the prepared quesadillas on your Blackstone griddle (or skillet). Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.
4. Serve:
   Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve hot. Pair with your favorite burger-inspired dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or even a special burger sauce for an extra burst of flavor.

Customizations and Tips:

• Vegetarian Option: You can easily swap the ground beef with a plant-based alternative like Beyond Meat or black beans for a vegetarian twist.
• Spice It Up: If you like a bit of heat, add diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the filling.
• Cheese Variations: While cheddar is classic, feel free to experiment with pepper jack, gouda, or any other melty cheese you prefer.

Cooking Tip:

Using the Blackstone griddle gives your quesadillas that smoky, grilled flavor, but if you're working with a skillet, make sure to keep the heat on medium-high to achieve a crispy exterior without burning the tortillas.

This dish truly embodies comfort food, offering a new take on the beloved cheeseburger while maintaining the fun, hand-held appeal of quesadillas. So why not give it a go for your next family meal or cookout?
