I first made these for my son 25 years ago as a fun, quick meal when time was tight on Halloween. Now, we enjoy them as an appetizer or slider served on our Halloween buffet. Feel free to use your favorite burger recipe.

("Eyeball" slider pictured is made with 1/2 of a small, fresh mozzarella cheese ball and 1/2 of a stuffed olive.)

How to Make Kid's Favorite Slider/Burger For Halloween

Step-by-Step

1Mix together ground beef chuck or turkey, onion, salt and pepper. Form into desired sized patties. Using a small paring knife, carve pumpkin faces onto cheese slices. Set aside.
2Brown meat patties and top with cheese faces 1-2 minutes before they are done.

Decorate with ketchup "blood" and "stab" with small, plastic appetizer forks and swords that are used to serve olives and fruit in cocktails.
