JACK-O'-LANTERN BURGERS

Jack-o'-Lantern Burgers image

It's fun to "carve" cheesy faces on these nicely seasoned burgers I served at my Halloween theme party. Hungry trick-or-treaters in our family welcome the hearty sandwiches...and they're a can't-miss entree for a casual holiday get-together. -Vicki Schlechter, Davis, California
