A budget friendly and boo-tiful way to elevate dinner on Halloween! We’re obsessing over .mandy's Monster Burgers - full recipe below 🎃👻👇

Ingredients
🎃Black and Gold Vegetable Oil (for the baking tray)
🎃500g IGA beef mince
🎃1/2 tsp garlic powder
🎃1/2 tsp salt
🎃1/4 tsp cracked pepper
🎃Community Co Sliced Tasty Cheese
🎃4 bread rolls of your choice
🎃Community Co Lettuce Mix
🎃2 mini cucumbers
🎃Community Co Sweet & Spicy Gherkins
🎃Community Co Stuffed Green Olives
🎃Community Co Tomato Sauce

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and drizzle a little vegetable oil over it.

2. In a large bowl, mix the beef mince with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Shape into 4 burger patties and place them on the prepared baking tray. Drizzle with a little more oil, then bake for 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through.

3. Meanwhile, slice two pieces of cheese in half and stack the halves on top of each other. Cut them in a zig-zag pattern to create “teeth.” Thinly slice the mini cucumbers to create “tongues.”

4. To assemble, slice the burger buns in half. On the bottom half of each bun, place a small handful of lettuce mix, followed by a burger patty, then a cucumber “tongue’’ and a set of cheese “teeth’’. Drizzle tomato sauce over, then place the top half of the bun on top. Insert a toothpick into each gherkin to make “horns” and into the stuffed olives to make “eyeballs.” Stick them into the top of each bun for a fun finish.

Today is Farm Angels Flanno For A Farmer Day! Select IGA stores in Queensland have been wearing their flanno shirts in support of Aussie farmers.

The cause is very close to the hearts of Cornetts IGA Supermarkets as many of their stores are located in rural areas where they have witnessed how challenging times can impact local farming communities.
