1/2 pound ground beef
4 strips of bacon, cooked & crumbled (or a handful of bacon crumbles)
1/2 cup onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 {10 ounce} can of Ro*tel tomatoes & chilies {any heat}
8" or 10" tortillas
Butter
4 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
In a large skillet, add ground beef, cooked bacon, onion, garlic and Ro*tel. Cook on medium heat until meat is cooked through, onions are translucent and most of the moisture is cooked off. {We don't want soggy quesadillas!}
While meat is cooking, butter one side of each tortilla.
Place tortilla in a large skillet or griddle butter side down. Layer with cheese then ground beef mixture then more cheese. Don't be shy with the cheese! Place second buttered tortilla on top of cheese butter side UP.
Cook quesadillas for approximately 4 minutes on each side over medium heat. You don't want to cook too fast or the cheese wont melt. And you don't want to cook too slow or the cheese will never melt! Medium heat should do it.
Once tortilla turns a golden color on the bottom, flip it and cook additional 3 - 4 minutes on other side. If you aren't sure how to flip it because it's so big, place a plate face down onto your quesadilla. Then using a spatula scoop up the quesadilla onto the plate then flip plate over so it's in the correct position and slide quesadilla off. This will ensure no spillage of yummy insides! Serve with burger toppings such as ketchup, mustard, mayo, lettuce, pickles, etc!
This was easy and so yummy. It would definitely be an easy crowd-pleaser if you had a game-day gathering!
