Description
Cheeseburger Skulls are a spooky, fun twist on classic cheeseburgers! Juicy beef, melty cheese, and condiments are wrapped in flaky pizza dough, baked into skull shapes, and served as the ultimate Halloween party treat.
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup diced onions
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
1 package pizza dough
Food coloring (optional for decoration)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a skillet, cook ground beef with onions, salt, and pepper over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
3. Add shredded cheese, ketchup, and mustard to the beef. Stir until well combined.
4. Roll out pizza dough and cut into skull shapes with a knife or cookie cutter.
5. Spoon cheeseburger mixture onto each dough piece and seal edges firmly.
6. Place skulls on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
7. Optional: decorate with food coloring for a spooky finish.
8. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Best served warm right out of the oven.
Pair with veggie sticks, chips, or a salad for a complete meal.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
Freeze unbaked skulls for last-minute fun; bake straight from frozen with extra time.
Add garlic powder, paprika, or jalapeños for more flavor.
Use whole wheat pizza dough for a healthier option.
