How to Make a Delicious Special Hamburger

Hamburgers, also known as beef burgers or simply burgers, are typically made from a seasoned ground beef patty, grilled or pan-fried, and served between two halves of a soft, round bun.

You can customize your burger with toppings like lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, cheese, and peppers. Sauces such as mustard, mayonnaise, or ketchup add an extra layer of flavor.
