Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
- Optional: sliced jalapeños or olives for decoration
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onions, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions. Shape each into a skull shape by molding them with your hands. Use a knife or cookie cutters to carve details like jawlines and cheekbones for a more realistic skull appearance.
- Heat a skillet with a little olive oil over medium heat. Cook each skull for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are fully cooked and seared. During the last minute, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each skull to melt on top.
- While the beef cooks, slice the hamburger buns in half and toast them lightly for added flavor. You can also cut out small shapes or add toppings like jalapeños or olives to mimic spooky features.
- Place each cooked skull on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Add condiments like ketchup and mustard to create drips or blood effects. Top with the upper bun, decorate with toppings to enhance the spooky look, and add carved vegetables or candies to resemble bones or spooky eyes.
Notes
- For best results, cook the skulls until fully done and cheese is melted.
- You can prepare the beef mixture ahead of time and shape the skulls in advance, storing in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
- Use food coloring or colored toppings for extra spooky effects.
