Jack-O'-Lantern Cheeseburger Pie image

It's just plain fun for us and the kids will love to eat their dinner. It's a tiny bit fiddly but so much fun you won't mind at all. I have to admit that, my "doesn't like anything" DH loves it! You can also make several smaller pies simply by cutting several smaller circles out of the crust dough. If you do don't forget that they will bake faster.
