  1. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat and toast the buns until golden and crispy, then set aside.
  2. Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and gently form each into a round patty, about half an inch thick.
  3. Drizzle the skillet or grill with a little olive oil, then cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are browned and cooked through, with juices running clear.
  4. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each hot patty and let it melt slightly while they finish cooking.
  5. Brush the cut sides of the toasted buns lightly with olive oil to enhance their crispy texture.
  6. Assemble each burger by placing a beef patty topped with melted cheese onto the bottom bun, then add colorful toppings like sliced peppers, olives, or cherry tomatoes for a vibrant look.
  7. Decorate each burger with googly eyes to create a spooky monster face, attaching them with small dollops of condiment or cheese.
  8. Place the top bun over the decorated burger, press gently, and serve immediately to enjoy the crispy, cheesy, and playful monster burger.
