Description
Juicy bunless cheeseburgers shaped like spooky skulls, stuffed with melty cheddar and baked in a skull mold—perfect for a fun, family-friendly Halloween dinner.
Ingredients
1 1/2 lb ground beef (80/20)
1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1/4 cup minced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
4 oz cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes
Cooking spray or oil, for mold
2 tbsp ketchup or BBQ sauce (optional, for glaze)
Instructions
1. Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Set a skull-shaped silicone mold on a sheet pan and lightly coat with cooking spray.
2. In a bowl, gently mix beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper until just combined.
3. Press a thin layer of meat into each mold cavity, pushing into facial details and creating a small well.
4. Place a cube or two of cheddar into each well, then cover with more meat and seal edges firmly to prevent leaks.
5. Bake 20–25 minutes, or until centers reach 160°F (71°C) and edges are browned.
6. Rest 5 minutes, then carefully unmold the cheeseburger skulls onto a platter.
7. Brush with ketchup or BBQ sauce if desired and serve with fries, salad, and pickles.
