Monster Face Burgers

What You Need:

8 (4 oz.) ground beef patties
8 buns
8 slices of American cheese
8 slices of thin deli ham
16 sweet pickle slices
Ketchup

How to Make It:

Preset the oven to the broiler position and allow the broiler to heat.
Spray a broiler pan with a non stick cooking spray.
Place the patties onto the prepared pan.
Broil the patties 4 inches from the heat for 5 minutes.
Turn the patties over and continue broiling 6 minutes or until the patties are cooked through.
Remove the patties to paper towel to drain.
Separate the buns and place the bottom half of the bun on a serving platter.
Place one cooked burger on each bottom bun.
Cut the cheese slices in half in a zigzag pattern to look like teeth.
Place one piece of cheese onto the burger with the “teeth” hanging over the edge.
Fold 1 slice of ham to resemble a tongue and place over the first piece of cheese so that it also hangs over the edge.
Place the second piece of cheese onto the folded ham tongue.
Place the top bun on each burger.
Attach the sweet pickle slices to the top of the buns with toothpicks to resemble eyes.
Place a dab of ketchup onto the middle of each pickle to complete each eye.

If the weather permits grill these burgers instead of broiling them. It will give your monsters a little charred look making them a little scarier. Green olive slices with pimento may used in place of the sweet pickle slices and ketchup if you prefer.
