Description
Turn dinner into a spooky Halloween surprise with these Cheeseburger Skulls! Juicy beef molded into creepy skulls and stuffed with melted cheese—perfect for family dinners, themed parties, or a haunted movie night.
Ingredients
1 ½ to 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
1 small onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and black pepper to taste
Ketchup, mustard, or sauces for serving
Burger buns or lettuce wraps (optional)
Skull-shaped silicone baking mold
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a bowl, combine ground beef, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper.
3. Lightly oil the skull molds to prevent sticking.
4. Press beef into each mold cavity, fill with shredded cheese, then seal with more beef.
5. Place molds on a baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
6. Let rest for 5 minutes before unmolding to retain juices.
7. Serve on buns or as-is with spooky sides or dipping sauces.
Notes
Swap beef for ground turkey or plant-based meat.
Add jalapeños or barbecue sauce to the filling for flavor twists.
Great as a main dish for Halloween dinners or scary movie nights.
