Cheeseburger

What is a cheeseburger?

Cheeseburger is a dish from the USA. It consists of a bun, which is cut in half and usually toasted. A beef patty is placed on the bottom half of the bun and fried in a pan or on the grill. A slice of cheese (usually cheddar) is placed on the meat patty, which melts in the heat. The top half of the bun is topped with various sauces (e.g. ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise) and garnishes (e.g. lettuce, tomato, onion, gherkin). The two halves are then folded together and the cheeseburger is ready.

Cheeseburgers come in many variations, depending on taste and preference. Some people like double or triple patties, others prefer vegetarian or vegan alternatives. Some also add other ingredients, such as bacon, mushrooms, avocado or jalapeños. There are also different types of buns, cheese and sauces. The possibilities are almost endless.
