Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb pound ground beef 80/20 for juiciness
  • 4 pieces burger buns sesame or plain
  • 1 large onion for onion eyes
  • 0.5 cup black olives sliced for eyes
  • 4 slices cherry tomatoes optional googly eyes
  • 4 tablespoons ketchup
  • 4 tablespoons mustard
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil for cooking

Equipment

  • Grill or skillet
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Sandwich buns
  • Tongs or spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil.
  2. Mildly shape the ground beef into four evenly-sized patties, about 3/4-inch thick, and place them on the hot surface.
  3. Cook the patties for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, until they develop a nice brown crust and are cooked through to your desired level of doneness.
  4. While the burgers cook, thinly slice the onion to create small circular layers for the monster's eyes and set aside.
  5. Once the patties are cooked, remove them from heat and place each burger onto the bottom half of a bun.
  6. Add a layer of ketchup and mustard on top of each beef patty for flavor and moisture.
  7. Use tongs or your fingers to arrange slices of onion on the patties to resemble spooky eyes, and place sliced olives for pupils or small cherry tomato halves for googly eyes.
  8. Assemble the burger with the top bun, completing the monster face, with eyes and features positioned to look playful or spooky.
  9. Repeat the decorating process for all four burgers, ensuring each has fun facial features.
  10. Serve the monster burgers immediately with extra condiments or sides if desired, letting everyone enjoy their spooky, flavorful creation.
