Cue these Bloody Meatloaf Burgers, an ideal centrepiece for any Halloween party, with ingredients from @dunnesstores 🎃 💀 #brandpartner Serves: 4 Time: 1 hour 15 mins proving time 500g beef mince (10-12% fat) 100g streaky bacon, finely chopped 50g button mushrooms, finely chopped 1 x 300g tin cream of tomato soup 75g fresh breadcrumbs 2 tsp dried oregano 1 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp honey 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 100g mayonnaise Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper To serve: 4 sesame seed buns, toasted 8 cherry tomatoes 8 edible eyes, or, black and white writing icing pens 8 cocktail sticks 4 white cheddar slices ¼ head iceberg lettuce, finely shredded Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/350°F/Gas Mark 4. For the patties, mix the mince with the streaky bacon, mushrooms, half the tin of soup, the breadcrumbs and half of the oregano. Season well and shape into 4 large patties, the rougher the better here - so don’t worry about the shape too much. Transfer to the oven on a tray and cook for 20 minutes. Whilst the meatloaf patties cook, mix the remaining soup with the honey, worcestershire sauce, olive oil, remaining oregano and seasoning in a pan over a medium high heat until warmed through and combined. After 20 minutes, remove the patties from the oven, brush with some of the soup mixture and return to the oven for 10 minutes, until crisp and golden. Mix the mayonnaise with remaining soup mixture and set aside for serving. To assemble, either cut a hole in the centre of your cherry tomatoes, big enough to fit an edible eye, or use your white and black icing pens to create an eye on the tomatoes. Stick one end of the cocktail sticks into the top halves of the burger buns and the other end into the cherry tomato eyes. Slice triangles into the cheese slices to resemble razor sharp teeth. Spread the bottom of the burger buns with the mayonnaise then top with shredded lettuce. Top with a burger patty then add a slice of cheese ‘teeth’. Top with the burger bun tops, to give your monster eyes then tuck in - if you dare!
