Top 10 Most Important Things Needed on a Burger

The Top Ten
1 Cheese

It makes it amazing, and duh, of course, the patty, but that shouldn't count!

If I want a salad, I'll order one. Just give me the burger and cheese, baby.

I don't like cheese on its own, but with a burger, it's so good.

2 Bacon

Bacon is really good and crispy. It is my favorite breakfast meat.

I love crispy bacon on my burger for that perfect crunch.

This is a real conversation between me and a waiter:
"Here is your burger, sir."
"This isn't a burger."
"Yes, it is! Everything is there! What did I do wrong?"
"There's no bacon. Send it back."

3 Ketchup

Who needs a patty? Get bread, salad, tomato, cheese, pickled cucumber (if you've got chicken, why not), and drown everything in ketchup - twice.

Also, try it with a fried egg, because for taste reasons, ketchup on a fried egg = perfection.

With ketchup, you can take away the cheese and still be alright. You can take away the patty and still be actually good. You can take away the buns and still be okay. But if you take away ketchup, it's not the same.

Excellent sauce that goes amazing with a burger. Not as good as burger sauce, though.

4 Pickles

All pickle lovers know what I mean.

5 Onion

Sauté onions with soy sauce, and they taste great on a burger. Try it out.

6 Mustard

My wife puts a little German mustard (so good) inside the burger meat, along with chopped onions. Of course, mustard goes on the bread (ketchup - what!?). More onions on top with bacon, lettuce, and a nice slice of cheese. THAT, my friends, is a burger!

Mustard is the main sauce for a burger!

Mustard is better than ketchup.

7 Lettuce

Crunchy! I like the fresh taste. It adds to the goodness of the entire burger. Without the lettuce, it's oily and unhealthy, right?

8 Tomato

Without tomatoes, I'd never eat burgers. Tomatoes rule!

Tomatoes are da bomb, especially on a burger.

Underrated.

9 Fries French fries are served hot, either soft or crispy, and are generally eaten as part of lunch or dinner or by themselves as a snack, and they commonly appear on the menus of fast food restaurants. Fries in America are generally salted and are often served with ketchup; in many countries they are topped... read more

Not on it, but definitely with it.

Can't eat a burger without fries.

10 Jalapenos
The Contenders
11 Mayonnaise

I don't know why, but I love it when it's in there.

12 Hot Sauce
13 BBQ Sauce

Not the most important thing, but the most delicious thing when used on a burger.

I have never had that on a burger, but it sounds good!

BBQ sauce makes everything better.

14 A-1 Sauce
15 Ham

Ham without a burger sucks, and so does a burger without ham. Of course, there must be ketchup. I call it a hamburger. It's very delicious.

16 Sesame Seeds
17 Beef

How is this so low down? How is someone going to eat a burger without beef?

How do you "burger"? BEEF. Scrumptious.

18 Banana Peppers
19 Salt
20 Beetroot
21 Garlic

Garlic sauce has a really good flavor, and it tastes great with a lot of things.

Garlic is definitely THE BEST, no contest.

22 Big Mac Secret Sauce

LOL, just say the secret sauce already!

23 Heinz 57 Sauce
24 Overeasy Egg
25 Tortilla Chips
