Ingredients
Scale
Cheeseburger Filling
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ small onion, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Flatbreads & Cooking
- 4–6 soft flatbreads (such as naan or pita)
- 2 tablespoons butter or oil for toasting
Optional Toppings
- Chopped pickles
- Shredded lettuce
- Diced tomato
- Extra ketchup or mustard for dipping
Instructions
- Cook Ground Beef and Onion: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and finely diced onion until the beef is browned and cooked through, breaking up the meat into small crumbles. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
- Season Beef Mixture: Stir in ketchup, yellow mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 2 to 3 minutes so the flavors meld together. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Combine Cheese: Stir the shredded cheddar cheese into the slightly cooled beef mixture until evenly combined, ensuring the cheese begins to melt into the warm filling.
- Assemble Flatbreads: Spoon the cheeseburger filling onto one half of each flatbread. Fold the flatbread over or top with another flatbread to create a sandwich pocket. Press gently along the seams to seal the edges.
- Toast Stuffed Flatbreads: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt butter or add oil. Cook each stuffed flatbread for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the exterior turns golden brown and crispy and the cheese inside is thoroughly melted.
- Serve: Slice the stuffed flatbreads and serve warm. Offer optional toppings such as pickles, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, or extra ketchup and mustard on the side for dipping or garnish.
Notes
- You can use store-bought flatbreads or prepare your own for this recipe.
- For a spicier version, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling mixture before assembling.
- Instead of stovetop toasting, bake the stuffed flatbreads in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8 to 10 minutes for a hands-off approach.
