Pumpkin Burgers

I love Halloween and one of my favorite parts about it is making pumpkin burgers. I don't remember a Halloween without these. They are simple and fun, and are really tasty, even when it isn't Halloween! The pumpkin in the name comes from the jack o lantern face that is put on the top of it, but you can get creative and cut out any sort of shape or face!

Ingredients:

Biscuits - I used Pillsbury to save time, but of course you could make your own

Ground beef
Onion

BBQ Sauce

Cheese

For mine this time, I used standard size biscuits,1 lb ground beef, 1/2 onion and it made 15, but they are small.

Steps:

Preheat oven according biscuit directions.

Brown ground beef and onion in skillet until cooked through

Put ground beef in a bowl and mix with BBQ sauce, I use just enough to coat, but you could make them extra saucy if you like. I love Sweet Baby Ray's sauce and would recommend it to all.

Flatten out a biscuit and place it on a greased cookie sheet.

 Top the biscuit with a scoop of the ground beef. , be sure to leave some biscuit space around the edge. Then top that with a bit of cheese.

 

Now take another biscuit and flatten it out. This time etch out a jack o lantern face in the biscuit. It's really a matter of just taking a butter knife and moving the biscuit around so you have nicely shaped holes in it. :) This is one activity that Thomas does like to do each year and he was very pleased with his baby vampire with only one tooth.

Then take the face a place it on top of the ground beef and cheese, pinching the edges of the biscuits together.

 

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Take out, let cool for a few minutes and enjoy!
