Ingredients
Scale
Macaroni & Cheese
- 1 box Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, prepared according to box directions
Meats
- 4 Oscar Mayer Wieners (hot dogs)
- 8 slices Oscar Mayer Bacon
Cheese & Tortillas
- 8 Kraft American Cheese Singles
- 2 flour tortillas
For Serving
- Heinz Ketchup for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare Mac & Cheese: Cook the Kraft Macaroni & Cheese as per the package instructions until creamy and set aside.
- Cook Bacon: Pan-fry or bake the bacon slices until crispy, then drain on paper towels.
- Cook Hot Dogs: Warm the Oscar Mayer Wieners by pan cooking, grilling, or microwaving. Once heated, slice them into rounds.
- Heat Skillet: Lightly grease a medium skillet and preheat it over medium heat.
- Assemble Bottom Layer: Place one flour tortilla in the skillet and immediately lay down pieces of one slice of Kraft American Cheese evenly over the tortilla.
- Add Mac & Cheese Layer: Spread about 1/2 cup of the prepared macaroni and cheese evenly on top of the cheese layer.
- Add Meats: Distribute 2 slices of crispy bacon and the sliced hot dogs evenly over the mac and cheese layer.
- Top with Cheese: Add pieces of another slice of Kraft American Cheese on top for extra meltiness.
- Close Quesadilla: Place the second tortilla on top and lightly spray it with cooking spray or brush with butter to help it crisp during cooking.
- Cook One Side: Let the quesadilla cook until the bottom tortilla turns golden brown, then carefully flip it over.
- Cook Other Side: Continue cooking until the other side is also golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.
- Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the pan, cut into quarters, and serve hot with Heinz Ketchup for dipping.
Notes
- Use cooking spray or butter to get a crispy, golden tortilla exterior.
- Feel free to substitute hot dogs or bacon with your preferred proteins.
- For a spicier twist, add jalapeño slices inside before cooking.
- These quesadillas are best served fresh and hot for maximum gooeyness.
- Ensure the skillet is preheated to medium to avoid burning the tortilla before cheese melts.
