JUMP TO RECIPE

Monster burgers arise! Yes, you could refer to these burgers as “monsters” based on their size alone, because these are no wimpy burgers. But these scary good burgers are actually here to get you in the mood for Halloween, so beware! Because, with nowhere to hide from the fun, you might as well just give in now, and enjoy. Be sure to ignore those screams of joy when you serve them, too!

Making Halloween Monster Burgers

Perfect for a Halloween party, with bold flavors that creep up on you, the Monster Burger rises from the murk of burger recipes. It casts a long dark shadow across any other plain old, same old burgers, and the suspense builds as you create each burger. Muahahahahaha! Let your demented and deranged scientist side hang out – like an alien exploding out and scaring the dickens out of everyone hanging out. The weirder and wackier you get, the better!

 

This post and recipe were created for #HalloweenTreatsWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.

 

Welcome!!! It is almost Halloween which means it is time for this year’s #HalloweenTreatsWeek recipe and giveaway event!!

#HalloweenTreatsWeek is a yearly Halloween blogging event that is hosted by Angie from Big Bear’s Wife  & it’s a creepy and haunting week-long event is filled with some amazingly wicked Halloween treats, recipes, and some frightfully fun giveaways.

“When witches go riding, and black cats are seen, the moon laughs and whispers ‘tis near Halloween.”

 

The Ingredients Needed For A Halloween Monster Burger

For the Halloween monster burger, you need the following ingredients:

  • Ground beef
  • Sesame Seed Hamburger buns – those seeds are like little warty growths if you use your imagination
  • Bacon
  • Muenster Cheese (Of course it has to be Muenster, right?)
  • Pickle slices, the long wedges make great tongues
  • Olives with pimentos for eyeballs
  • Ketchup… lots of ketchup! Or marinara sauce if you prefer… Just so it looks like you know what!

Consider Chili Peppers For The Adult Option

For some folks, they may wish to up the scare factor and add a bit of heat to the burger. In that case, I recommend using a hatch or poblano chili to create the “tongue”. It will add just enough burn and give you another option for that crazy tongue to hang out the side.  

 

How To Form A Monster Burger

Building a monster burger is easy and fun. I recommend taking the slices of muenster cheese and stacking them first, then slicing out the “teeth” easily in one series of cuts. 

Make sure your cheese droops out over the sides so it looks like the burger has fangs. You can also cut a little “V” out of the pickle tongue to make it more serpentine.

Get creative and make each monster burger uniquely scary and have fun with it!

 

The Skeleton Key To Making Monster Burgers

When you make monster burgers, don’t get anxious about making them “perfect”. These burgers have personalities built into them as much as flavor, so there is no such thing as a “mistake”.  Also, if you want to make a perfect burger, then check out this post for tips and tricks. 

In fact, feel free to get creative. You can dress them up with other things to create different types of monsters. For example, use the cut off tips of some pointy carrots to add horns. A couple of sprigs of parsley add a monster hairdo. 

You can even make the serving plate a bit scarier with some well-placed plops of ketchup. Use a bit of green relish to create some icky “vomit” or weird “innards” oozing out. Olives on toothpicks can become another way to do googly eyes. Anything goes.
