Jack-o’-lantern Cheeseburger Pie

Though it may look a little garish, this Jack-o’-lantern Cheeseburger Pie is a delicious, kid friendly food and perfect for a spooky Halloween party.

Slice it up with a pizza cutter and serve. The crust held up better than I expected, but that might vary depending on what brand you use. I use Pillsbury premade refrigerated pie crusts that you unroll on the counter.

It does look a bit spooky, but trust me, it tastes great. Everyone at our party loved this. Enjoy!
