Recipe Description

Kids love these Frightfully Delicious Jack-o’-Lantern Cheeseburgers at Halloween. They really look the part with the Jack-o’-lantern eyes, nose and mouth shapes cut out of cheese slices. They taste a hell of a lot better than turnips too!

Combine ground beef with ranch seasoning mix, ketchup, and pepper and use your hands to mix well. Shape the beef into 6 patties. To cook, grill, while covered, until cooked through. Place the cheese slices on the burgers and grill until the cheese is slightly melted. Serve on buns with your favorite toppings.
