Monster Burgers Halloween Fun (Printer-Friendly Version)

Juicy sesame burgers stacked with cheddar, pickles, and olive eyes bring a festive Halloween vibe to any table.

# Required Ingredients:

→ Burger Patties

01 - 450 g ground beef
02 - 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
03 - 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
04 - Salt, to taste
05 - Black pepper, to taste

→ Toppings & Assembly

06 - 4 slices cheddar cheese
07 - 4 black sesame burger buns
08 - Pickle slices
09 - Olive halves
10 - Tomato sauce, for garnish

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - In a large bowl, combine ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until seasonings are evenly distributed.
02 - Divide the meat mixture into eight equal portions and form each into a patty roughly 1 cm thick.
03 - Heat a skillet or grill over medium heat. Arrange patties in an even layer and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until cooked to preferred doneness.
04 - During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on four of the patties and let it melt slightly.
05 - Place one cheese-topped patty and one plain patty together on each black sesame bun. Add pickle slices as 'tongues' and olive halves to mimic 'eyes'.
06 - Drizzle tomato sauce over the assembled burgers for a dramatic finishing touch. Serve directly while warm.

# Handy Cooking Tips:

01 - To create dramatic cheese 'teeth,' trim each cheddar slice into zigzag shapes before melting atop the patty.
