I think this hot take is really going to upset some folks.

As for me, I honestly can go both ways on the pressing issue of whether you need cheese or not to make a burger complete and delicious.

Sometimes I love cheese on my burger, sometimes I go without it…I like to be unpredictable, okay?

AskReddit users shared their opinions about a very divisive topic:

I absolutely believe cheese ruins a good hamburger. from unpopularopinion

Let’s take a look at what they had to say…

1. Against the essence of the meat…

“Every time I’ve ate a cheeseburger I found myself highly disappointed and always regret it. Every bite into a cheesburger I feel a horrible clash of flavors and tastes that just go against the essence of the meat.

I believe Burgers are much better suited with on your fresh veggies like lettuce, pickles, red onion, and possibly tomatoes (depending on what you like), and either simply just some ketchup, or a more interesting sauce if it’s available to you, but not anything that will overpower the meat, like cheese does.”

2. Agreed!

“This is less about cheese as a standalone and more so about cheese not quite fitting in with the rest if the layers in the burger.

I agree.

No cheese please.”

3. Depends on the cheese.

“It could be the type of cheese as well.

American cheese is more likely to overwhelm than other types. I prefer provolone cheese on mine.

But most people I know personally only use American cheese.”

4. Gotta get the good stuff.

“I used to not like cheeseburgers as well.

Turns out, I didn’t like burgers with crappy cheese.

I’ll usually get a hamburger from most fast food/chain restaurants, but will get a cheeseburger from local places because they usually use better cheese.”

5. Mixed emotions.

“I actually think tomatoes ruin burgers, and I like tomatoes.

But to the cheese part, to me, it depends on the quality of the meat.

A great beef burger, cooked just right, needs no cheese.”

6. Adds texture.

“Cheese adds a nice texture to the burger, and a good flavor that, in my opinion, brings all the flavors together with a good flavor.

Also, tomatoes are the devil a deserve to be eradicated.”

7. No hot cheese, please.

“I do not enjoy hot cheese at all.

If it’s on my burger and it’s not melting, that means I have a cold burger, which is an entirely different problem.

Therefore I’m in this camp. Do we get hats or t shirts?”

8. We can’t be friends.

“I can’t think of a single burger combination that doesn’t benefit from cheese.

I disagree with you and actually kind of dislike you despite knowing nothing about you.”

9. Something to think about…

“What if you add a really good cheese though?

Not that sliced plastic crap, I’m talking a smoked German cheese with bacon, a rich creamy brie or aged mature cheddar?”

10. Too rich for my blood.

“I’ve always been called crazy for thinking this exact thing.

In my opinion cheese just makes the burger too rich, like I’m going to have a heart attack or throw up if I try to eat the whole thing.

I love cheese and I love burgers, but those two things do not belong together.”

11. A bold stand.

“Cheese ruins almost everything except pizza.

I will die on that hill.”

12. Maybe you’re doing it wrong?

“I think you havent had a good cheeseburger.

It highly depends on the cheese used and the amount used. Cheese goes well with a fatty hamburger. If you’re using 80/20 meat then cheese flows with the fat and enhances the flavor.

If you use cheddar cheese it should be a single slice per 1/2 lb which is a lot less than most people use on a burger. For more lean meats you want less cheese. The fat from fattier burgers actually melds with the cheese and makes it spread into the burger.

Now if you have veggies you want even less cheese.”

Oh, boy…

Now we want to hear from all of you out there.
