Ingredients
  

  • 1 Package Bob Evans Macaroni & Cheese
  • 4 8-inch flour tortillas
  • 1 Cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 4 Ounces green chiles diced
  • 8 Slices bacon cooked and cut into bite size pieces (about 1/2 to 3/4-inch)

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Bob Evans Macaroni and Cheese according to the package directions until it is hot and creamy.

  2. Lay out the four flour tortillas on a clean countertop or flat workspace.
    4 8-inch flour tortillas
  3. Warm a 10-inch skillet over medium heat to ensure even browning.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons of shredded sharp cheddar cheese to each tortilla, sprinkling it evenly over only one-half of the tortilla to make folding easier.
    1 Cup sharp cheddar cheese
  5. Add approximately 1/4 of the prepared macaroni and cheese on top of the shredded cheese on each tortilla.

  6. Scatter about a tablespoon of diced green chiles over the mac and cheese layer in each tortilla.

  7. Sprinkle the cooked bacon pieces evenly over the mac and cheese.
    8 Slices bacon
  8. Finish by adding another 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese over the bacon on each tortilla, then fold the tortilla in half to create a semi-circle.

  9. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the warm skillet and carefully place 2 quesadillas into the pan (position the folded edges against each other to fit).
    2 Tablespoons butter
  10. Cook until the bottom is golden brown (about 2 to 3 minutes), then flip and cook the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes until crispy and the cheese is fully melted.
  11. Place the finished quesadillas on a cooling rack to maintain crispiness while you repeat the process with the remaining tortillas. Cut each quesadilla in half before serving.

Notes

To get the perfect Mac and Cheese Quesadillas, always cook over medium or medium-low heat to melt the cheese without burning the tortilla. Using a cooling rack instead of a plate for the finished quesadillas prevents the bottom from becoming soggy.
