A hamburger, often called a burger, consists of a patty of pan-fried or grilled ground meat, typically beef, placed inside a sliced bun, sesame seed bun, or bread roll. The patty is often served with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, bacon, or chilis, and can be topped with condiments such as ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, relish, or a special sauce often based on Thousand Island dressing. A burger topped with cheese is called a cheeseburger, and under some definitions a hamburger is itself considered a type of sandwich.
