Halfway to Halloween 2025: Day 8

Ghostly Hand Pies!

Today, we are making some ghostly burger hand pies. Let’s get started!

What you need:

  • Lined cookie tray
  • Straw
  • Ghost cookie cutter
  • Hamburger
  • Spices
  • Condiments of your choice
    • ketchup
    • mustard
  • Shredded cheese
  • Diced onion (optional)
  • Egg (for egg wash)
  • Pillsbury Pie Crust

Directions:

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 350º and line your baking tray with parchment paper
  2. Lay out your pie crust and cut out your ghosts! Make sure that you have a bottom and a top for each pie.
  3. Using your straw add a face to one side of your ghosty hand pie. Set aside.
  4. If you are adding onion, add your diced onion to your pan and let it caramelize. Add in your ground hamburger meat and spices. Break up the meat until its at a consistency you like.
  5. Once the meat if fully cooked add in your condiments of choice and cheese. Give it a good mix.
  6. With a spoon, add your desired amount to cut out pie crust (the side without the holes).
  7. Once they are all filled, slightly wet the sides and lay your second pie crust with the face on top.
  8. With the back of your fork press along the sides of the ghost giving them a ridge.
  9. In a small bowl, crack your egg and add a bit of water and mix. Lightly coat the ghosties.
  10. Place them in the oven until they are golden brown.

These came out so adorable and delicious. I love the light crunch and the filling is great and cheesy. You can obviously add or take out whatever you want or don’t want. I like mine extra cheesy so I added a bit more cheese to mine.
