About McDONALD'S, Hamburger
The hamburger is one of the world's most iconic foods, a sandwich built around a cooked patty of ground beef tucked inside a soft, round bun. Believed to have taken its modern form in the United States, it has become a global fast-food and backyard-grill staple. The patty is seasoned and griddled, grilled, or fried, then dressed with an endless range of toppings such as cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, bacon, and condiments like ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise.
A hamburger supplies protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins from the beef, though its calories, fat, and sodium climb with rich toppings and large portions. It ranges from simple diner burgers to gourmet, stacked, and regional styles, and it inspires countless variations made with turkey, plant-based patties, and more. It is best cooked to a safe internal temperature for food safety. Choose fresh, well-marbled ground beef for the juiciest results, and cook hamburgers promptly, keeping raw meat well chilled until it hits the heat.
