Burger Ingredients
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 hamburger patties, cooked
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- Dill pickle sandwich slices
- Mustard, ketchup, or desired toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion, mayonnaise)
- Large green olives with pimentos (for eyes)

Instructions
- Prepare the buns and toppings. Top the bottom half of each hamburger bun with your preferred toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and onion to add freshness and flavor to the burger.
- Add cooked hamburger patty. Place a cooked hamburger patty on top of the prepared toppings on each bun to form the main portion of the burger.
- Add the pickle tongue. Place a dill pickle slice so that it extends over the edge of the burger, mimicking a ‘tongue’ for a spooky effect.
- Create cheese teeth. Cut triangle shapes from one side of a cheddar cheese slice to resemble jagged ‘teeth’ and position the cheese slice on top of the pickle tongue to look like fangs.
- Top with the upper bun and condiments. Spread mayonnaise, ketchup, or mustard on the top half of the hamburger bun and place it over the assembled burger components.
- Attach olive eyes. Stick green olives onto toothpicks and secure them on top of the burger to create the appearance of ‘monster eyes.’
- Serve. Remove the toothpicks before eating and enjoy your spooktacular Halloween monster burger!
