Spooky Burgers: Fun Halloween Dinner Idea

I love the holidays and I love incorporating little touches like these Jack-O-Lantern burgers into our celebration.

Super simple, SUPER fun and something that won’t add a ton of time to your already busy Halloween day, these darling Spooky Burgers are a fun Halloween Dinner idea that will be sure to please. 

Also a great idea for any festive fall gatherings, these cute Jack O’ Lantern faces cut into sliced cheese take just a few minutes to make and are perfect for this time of year!

What You’ll Need to Make Spooky Jack-O’-Lantern Burgers

Obviously this easy Halloween dinner is pretty self explanatory and might give you ideas for other fun and easy Halloween meal options.

I’ve done something similar with grilled cheese sandwiches and/or you could also cute little jack o’lantern faces into cheese slices and serve them on round crackers.

Once you start getting creative with fun Halloween meal ideas, the options are truly endless!

• Cooked Hamburger Patties 
• American Cheese
• Hamburger Buns
• Sharp Knife

How to Make Spooky Jack O’Lantern Burgers

1. Take a slice of American Cheese and carve a pumpkin face on the cheese using a sharp knife. 
2. Grill your hamburgers.
3. Place the cheese on the hot hamburger. The heat from the hamburger patties should slightly melt the cheese without damaging the pumpkin face. 
4. Place on hamburger buns.
5. Serve and enjoy! 

I love to surprise my kids with fun things like this and you’ll find quite a few other Halloween recipes and crafts on the blog.

Over the years, I’ve shared may of our favorites and as you can tell, I love to keep these things simple.

Kids don’t need big and elaborate holiday meals and desserts, I think they enjoy the little touches. 

Another of my favorite Halloween meal ideas from past years are these fun and easy Halloween lunch ideas. 

Does anyone else remember the Burger King Black Burger? It was a Halloween burger in a black bun. The Burger King Black Burger (or I guess it was a Black Whopper) is the only other Halloween hamburger that I’ve ever seen but it’s what kind of inspired these fun Halloween burgers. Now if I could only find orange hamburger buns, that would be even more fun to make these hamburgers really look like jack o’ lanterns!
