# Required Ingredients:
→ Patties

454 g lean ground beef
02 -
120 ml grated zucchini
03 -
30 ml BBQ sauce
04 -
5 ml garlic powder
05 -
Salt and pepper to taste
→ Buns & Toppings
06 -
4 green burger buns colored with spinach powder

4 slices cheddar cheese, cut into triangular fangs
08 -
8 dill pickle slices
09 -
8 pimento-stuffed olive halves

Tomato rounds

# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, grated zucchini, BBQ sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined to maintain juiciness.
02 -
Divide mixture into four equal portions and shape patties slightly larger than buns. Grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 71°C.
03 -
During the final minute of cooking, place cheddar cheese triangles on each patty allowing them to melt and form fang-like edges.
04 -
Lightly toast green buns. Skewer olive halves onto toothpicks and pierce through pickle slices to create monster eyes.
05 -
Spread Greek yogurt ketchup sauce on buns, layer lettuce leaves as hair, add tomato rounds as faces, place patties with cheese fangs, top with roasted red pepper strips as tongues, and secure olive-pickle eyes on top buns.
06 -
Serve immediately while cheese is melted and decorations remain intact for optimal presentation.
# Handy Cooking Tips:
01 -
Chilling patties for 15 minutes before cooking improves shape retention. Freeze uncooked patties between parchment layers for up to two months.
