Halloween Burger



Halloween Burger is a fun way to celebrate.


Ingredients

4 beef burgers 

4 slices sliced cheese

4 seeded burger buns, halved

2 tbsp mayonnaise

4 romaine lettuce leaves, halved

Tomato slices

4 sliced pickles or 1 large gherkin, sliced lengthways into 4)

2 tbsp ketchup

8 olives stuffed with pimientos


You can add anything you like, we add bacon.

Some people add guacamole.




Method


Preheat the grill and cook the burgers to pack instructions. 

Meanwhile, cut 1 side of each Cheddar slice in a zigzag pattern using the tip of a knife, so you end up with 4 sets of 'teeth'. 

Grill the burger buns, cut-side up, for 1 min until golden.

For each burger, spread the mayonnaise on both halves of the bun. 

On the bottom half, place a piece of lettuce, tomato, then the burger patty. 

Lay a slice of pickle over the top of the patty so it hangs over the edge to resemble a 'tongue'. 


Add a jagged slice of cheese, then carefully squeeze some ketchup over the top of the teeth. 

Position the top half of the bun at a slight angle so you can see the mouth inside.

Skewer the olives on 8 cocktail sticks and push 2 through the top bun to make the eyes. 

Remove the cocktail sticks before eating.


Play around with the ingredients you like and be as creative as you want to be.
