Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (or plant-based burger option)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 4 burger buns
- 4 slices cheddar or American cheese (for "monster teeth")
- Lettuce leaves
- Tomato slices
- Pickles (optional)
- 8 olives (for eyes)
- Toothpicks (to secure eyes)
- Ketchup and mustard (for extra decorations)
- Red onion rings or bell peppers (for "tongue" or other features)
Instructions
- Shape and Cook the Burgers:
Season the ground beef with salt and pepper, then shape into 4 burger patties. Cook the patties in a skillet or grill over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. - Prepare the Buns and Cheese:
While the burgers cook, cut jagged "monster teeth" shapes into one side of each cheese slice. Set aside. Lightly toast the burger buns. - Assemble the Monster Faces:
Place a burger patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top each patty with a slice of the jagged cheese so it looks like teeth hanging over the sides. Add lettuce and tomato for extra "face" features. Use slices of pickles or red onions to create a "tongue." - Create the Eyes:
Stick toothpicks into the olives and place them on top of the buns to resemble eyes. - Decorate the Faces:
Use ketchup or mustard to add "blood" or extra features to the burger for a spooky effect.
Notes
- You can swap the beef patties for plant-based alternatives to make the recipe vegetarian.
- Get creative with toppings to make each burger look unique and monstrous!
