Halloween Monster Burgers

Recipe Description

These Monster Burgers are so much fun to make at Halloween with their cheese “teeth”, gherkin “tongues” and stuffed olive “eyeballs”! Your kids will adore these burgers at their Halloween party this year.

Grill the burgers according to the package instructions. Slice 1 side of each Cheddar slice in a zigzag pattern using the tip of a knife, so you have 4 sets of teeth. Grill the burger buns, cut-side up, for about a minute until lightly toasted. Assemble the burgers with mayo and lettuce, and the burger patty. Place a gherkin slice on top of the patty so it hangs down over the edge to make a tongue. Add a slice of cheese for teeth, and squeeze some ketchup over the teeth. Place the top half of the bun at an angle so that you can see the mouth. Using 8 cocktail sticks, push 2 olives onto the top bun to make the eyes. Just remember to remove the cocktail sticks before eating or you could end up with a real life horror story on your hands!

To make the Monster Burgers you will need the following ingredients:
