Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 whole Medium Onion Chopped
  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • ¼ cups Ketchup
  • ¼ cups Real Bacon Bits
  • Salt And Pepper to taste
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Onion Powder
  • 4 whole Large Flour Tortillas
  • 2 cups Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 tomato chopped
  • 1 bell pepper chopped
  • Vegetable Oil For Brushing
  • Red Crushed Pepper Flakes For Sprinkling

Instructions

  • In a large skillet on medium high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onions and allow them to cook for about 5-7 minutes until they become translucent. Add the beef and break it up with a wooden spoon or chopper. Cook the beef and onions together for about 10 minutes or until the beef is thoroughly cooked.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 F.
  • Once the beef is cooked add the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, bacon bits, salt and pepper, garlic powder and onion powder and stir until all is incorporated. Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes.
  • On a large baking sheet, lay out 2 tortillas. Take half of the burger mixture and spread it evenly on each tortilla. Top it with as much cheese as you like and add the chopped tomatoes and peppers. Put the other half on top of the burger mixture. Brush the top with oil and sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes until the tortilla shell becomes nice and crisp and the cheese is bubbly. Remove it from the oven and place pan on a rack. Let quesadillas sit for about 5 minutes to cool down then use a really sharp knife or pizza cutter and cut into triangles. You should get 4 large pieces out of both of them.

Notes

I had extra tomatoes and peppers in my garden so I chopped them up and added them. Would be easy to add what you have laying around. Great to take out to the harvest crew or for a dinner in with the family. You might want to keep the red peppers off of one tortilla for young kids. Easy to double to make more servings!
