Monster Cheeseburger

Hello everyone, I am cooking dinner for my brother every day, and even though we are trying to eat mostly plant-based at the moment, I was craving a burger so I thought I would take the opportunity and make something Halloween-inspired. I hope you enjoy it. 

Boo! Halloween is creeping around the corner, and I have a wickedly delicious treat for you. Say hello to the Monster Cheeseburger and Ghost Potatoes—a spine-tingling feast that'll leave your taste buds howling for more. 🍔👻
🍔Monster Cheeseburger Recipe:
Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef (or veggie burger for a meatless option)
• 4 hamburger buns
• Ketchup, mayo and mustard
• Sliced tomatoes, onions, and lettuce
• 4 slices of cheese (your choice) (for teeth) - I used a heart-shaped cookie cutter to create the teeth
• Green olives with pimento (for eyes)
• either long sliced pickles, or buy pickles and slice them the long way (for tongue)
• Tools:
• 8 Toothpicks
• toaster
• frying pan or grill
• spatula
• heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out teeth
• knife and cutting board

Instructions:

• Shape the ground beef into four monstrous burger patties, just a little bit bigger than the buns.
• Grill or cook your patties to your liking. (in a hot frying pan with a little bit of olive oil and butter I cook mine for 2-3 minutes on each side- flipping only once)
• Butter the buns and toast them.

To assemble the burgers:

• Spread mustard & mayo on the bottom bun.
• Place lettuce on the bun
• Ketchup
• burger pattie
• the pickle tongue hanging out the mouth
• sliced cheese with teeth cut out (see image 👇)
• tomatoes
• more ketchup
• top bun
• poke with toothpicks and olives
• Serve up these frightfully delicious cheeseburgers!🍔👻

And serve these delightful burgers with some ghost potatoes.

👻🍔 Voilà! You've conjured up a Halloween feast that's equal parts eerie and delicious. Perfect for a hauntingly good time with family and friends.
