Creative Halloween Cheeseburger Skulls


  • Total Time: 45 mins
  • Yield: Makes 6 skulls 1x

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

Scale

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.
