I don't know if what I'm about to ask is controversial.
If there's more than just meat, cheese, and salt, is it really a cheeseburger or a glorified cheeseburger?
Add bacon, it's a bacon cheeseburger.
Add avocado and veggies it a "Sonora" Cheeseburger.
Add condiments and it's a wet burger, Etc.
Is there anybody out there just like me that likes their cheeseburger plain and dry?

To be a cheeseburger it needs a minimum of a hamburger patty and cheese. Adding more toppings/condiments doesn’t take away cheeseburger status. The only way it can lose cheeseburger status is if you remove the cheese.
I’ve never heard anyone ever say “wet cheeseburger” and if I ever did I’d piss in my own eyes.
Does it have:
Beef patty ✔️
Cheese ✔️
That’s the bare minimum for a cheeseburger. Don’t overthink it.
Sausage cheeseburger in the little 2 packs for the win.
Yeah
Cheese: Check
Burger: Check
Confirmed cheeseburger.
I have a certain set of memories associated with a “plain dry” cheeseburger like what’s in your picture. Mostly centered around school or church functions.
Sitting at a brown laminated bench table at the Halloween Bazar, eating the “free lunch” that came with admission after making a clay pot or whatever: that lunch was invariably a dry broiled cheeseburger, some soggy undersalted crinkle cut fries, a paltry amount of off-brand ketchup and a little clear crush cup of “orange drink.”
There are a bunch of kids there. They’re in my class but not really my friends (only one of my friends showed up but they left already), so I don’t really feel like talking to them. I’m slowly eating my dry cheeseburger while punching holes in the cheap disposable plastic tablecloth with my fingers.
Not exactly happy memories, but not sad either. Just memories.
This is the way
Is a person still a person if they wear a T-shirt? What if you add pants? And a hat?
Where tf are you ordering cheeseburgers? A wet cheeseburger? Gtfo! Sure you can call stuff whatever you want, but a bacon cheeseburger is a cheeseburger with bacon just like the rest of whatever you want to top it with. A cheeseburger requires at least two things, cheese and a beef hamburger and I feel gross having to clarify the beef part because that should be implied, but here we are. I believe that both sides of the “bun”should be involved as well, or you venture into other variations (open face, patty melt, etc). Nothing wrong with a plain cheeseburger, just like there is nothing wrong with stacking additional ingredients regardless of how disgusting it may be.
A cheeseburger needs cheese, and a burger. Extra stuff doesn’t make it not a cheeseburger. If a Camry has spinners, a spoiler, and jet wings, it’s still a Camry at its core
That’s me. No condiments. Maybe bacon.
Nah thats an extra mustard burger.
A plain cheeseburger is often the best type
This is like that silly ass grilled cheese sub where they don’t consider it a grilled cheese if there’s anything more than cheese in there.
