Bacon Pie Quesadilla Burger

Preheat the grill or smoker to indirect heat (about 350°F).

Lay 15–20 slices of bacon in a bowl and fold them into a circular shape, leaving a gap in the center.

Add half of the ground beef into the bacon ring, sprinkle with cheddar cheese and your favorite BBQ rub, then place a tortilla on top.

Add the remaining ground beef over the tortilla, fold the bacon ring over to enclose the filling, and press gently to form a burger shape.

Grill the assembled burger on indirect heat for 20 minutes, then remove excess bacon drippings.

Increase the grill heat and finish grilling the burger for another 20 minutes until the bacon is crispy and the interior reaches your desired temperature.

While the burger is finishing, make a simple quesadilla by placing a tortilla in a pan, adding grated cheese, and cooking until melted; repeat for a second tortilla for the bottom bun.

Fry a single egg in a cast‑iron pan to your liking.

Assemble the burger: place the bottom quesadilla, add the bacon‑wrapped beef patty, top with the second quesadilla, drizzle with BBQ sauce, and finish with the fried egg.

Optionally garnish with sliced onions, jalapeños, or bell pepper before serving.
