These cheeseburger bombs are so easy to customize--just add your favorite chopped burger toppings into the mix. We love caramelized onions or raw red onions, fresh tomatoes, avocado, pineapple, coleslaw, or even Buffalo sauce! You can also swap out the ground beef for turkey or chicken for a healthier snack.
