Total Time - 25 minutes
Servings - 4

Ingredients:

• 1 small yellow onion, finely minced
• 2 lb ground chuck
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 4 slices thick American cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 4 Bakery hamburger buns, lightly toasted
• 8 slices precooked bacon
• 8 black olives
• 1 jar red pimientos
• 8 Chicago style peppers
• 4 sandwich-slice pickles

Steps:

1. Preheat grill. Mince onion (1/4 cup). Mix ground chuck, onion, and Worcestershire sauce just until combined. Divide into 8 portions and form into thin patties. Place 1 cheese slice each on 4 of the patties; top with remaining patties and pinch edges to form a tight seal (wash hands). Season patties with salt and pepper.
2. Place burgers on grill; cook 3–4 minutes on each side and until 160°F. Remove burgers from grill and let stand 5 minutes to rest.
3. Toast buns. Heat bacon following package instructions. Assemble burgers, with toppings if using; serve.

For the costume:

4. Slice 1 whole pimiento into 8 pieces sized to fit into each olive.
5. Place 1 olive and 1 pepper on a black cocktail skewer for each eye.
6. Cut jagged edges on remaining 4 cheese slices, and arrange on burger to resemble teeth.
7. Arrange the pickle so it hangs off the bun for the tongue.
