Jack-O-Lantern Burgers

By: Vicki Schlechter 
"It's fun to 'carve' cheesy faces for 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"
