Cheeseburger-In-A-Bowl switches up the beloved, American classic and replaces the bun with a bowl! Never fear, though, you won’t miss out on any of the other staple ingredients like creamy cheese, crispy red onions, crunchy dill pickles, juicy tomatoes, refreshing cucumbers, or a big, savory burger patty.
