A '''cheeseburger''' is a [[hamburger]] with one or more slices of melted [[cheese]] on top of the meat [[patty]], added near the end of the cooking time. Cheeseburgers can include variations in structure, ingredients and composition. As with other hamburgers, a cheeseburger may include various condiments and other toppings such as [[lettuce]], [[tomato]], [[onion]], [[pickled cucumber|pickles]], [[bacon]], [[avocado]], [[mushrooms]], [[mayonnaise]], [[ketchup]], and [[mustard (condiment)|mustard]].

In [[fast food restaurant]]s across the United States, [[processed cheese]] is usually used, although other meltable cheeses are used, such as [[Cheddar cheese|cheddar]], [[Swiss cheese (North America)|Swiss]], [[Mozzarella cheese|mozzarella]], [[blue cheese]], or [[pepper jack cheese|pepper jack]]. Virtually all restaurants that sell hamburgers also offer cheeseburgers.
