Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef (or your favorite ground meat)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend)
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup ketchup (or your favorite burger condiment)
  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Toppings
  • pickles Optional
  • mustard Optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the diced onion until browned. Drain any excess fat, and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheese and ketchup, mixing until melted and gooey.
  4. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
  5. Take two triangles of dough and shape them into a skull. Place a spoonful of the cheeseburger mixture in the center of each shaped dough.
  6. Fold the triangles over the filling and press the edges to seal. Place them on a baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Serving
  1. Allow to cool slightly before serving, with extra ketchup or mustard on the side.

Notes

Feel free to add diced pickles for extra crunch or swap in turkey for a lighter option. Use a skull-shaped cookie cutter for authentic shapes.
