Cheese has absolutely no business being on a hamburger. It overpowers everything else and makes it taste like straight up grease and dairy. I genuinely can’t understand why anyone would willingly ask for a big ass piece of cheddar on an otherwise perfect sandwich. Call me a prude but I will always prefer a burger with no cheese.

Awful take, have my +1
Absolutely an unpopular opinion. I find most cheeses a subtle and welcome improvement to every burger. I am a particularly big fan of more bold choices like blue cheese, pepper jack, and goat cheese on a burger too.
100% of burgers are cheeseburgers for me.
What are your acceptable burger toppings/condiments? Because I can understand not wanting cheese, but here’s the real drama 👀
Lmfao
I honestly barely taste the cheese if its the common choice of cheddar or american. Are you more commonly getting burgers with other cheeses in it? Cause when I think of swiss burgers or gouda.. I love that too but it certainly is much more flavorful. Grease comes from the meat so idk what you’re talking about there. & Dairy shouldn’t be bothersome to a person who usually likes it. Do you have any lactose/allergy issues?
This certainly is unpopular.
You probably like it well done too.
Very unpopular, but I have heard this (barbaric) opinion expressed as:
Don’t pour milk on my beef!
+1
Edit I call it barbaric but this is literally a kosher opinion! Ha!
An amazingly bad take…..you winner.
What about Swiss? Blue? Feta? Pepper jack? American? Was that sharp or mild cheddar?
What about other toppings? Tomato? Bacon? Onions? Mushrooms? Pickles? Jalapeños?
Or sauces? Ketchup? Mustard? Mayo? BBQ? Steak sauce?
Well…People do ask for cheese for the cheese taste. It’s not seasoning where you just add a dash.
We can deal with a pickle or tomato aversion but don’t fuck the cheese
This is an excellent pet peeve
It must suck to be you.
Disgusting terrible opinion, have an upvote
Gotta ask though, how do you like your burger?
I think tomatoes lettuce pickles onions and all the other crap people put on burgers is disgusting, give me a plain hamburger and a bowl of BBQ sauce to dip it in.
Every food is just a delivery method to get cheese in my mouth
“has no business”
People are dogmatic about the dumbest crap these days. Get over yourself!
Worst take I’ve seen on here in a while
I fucking love cheeseburgers, I hope your pillows are warm as fuck tonight
Holy rage bait
I can swing either way. Depends on my mood. Feel the same way about avocado. Sometimes I’m into it, sometimes not.
An actual unpopular opinion. That’s rare. Also, what sort of human doesn’t love cheese? Even lactose intolerant people say it’s worth the pain.
Cheese can save some really bland supermarket meat
I don’t like dry sandwiches.
American cheese makes my shit feel extra moist.
I used to think this as well. But I changed. My son is right there with you, though. And it’s extra annoying since so many people, especially those in the restaurant industry, think that a hamburger is a cheeseburger.
Unpopular.
Upvoted
This may be the greatest unpopular opinion ever. Well done there.
Dumb opinion. You did right by this sub. Have an upvote.
If you mean those cheese covered burgers that’s obvious, if its a little cheese, you are in the wrong
You are right in that is an unpopular opinion. You have my upvote.
Popular opinion: You’re a putz.
You got my upvote.
Agree, I hate cheese on burgers
Holy shit dude…….+1
Yeah this opinion sucks. I think this deserves the crown of the most unpopular opinion on the planet.
I don’t like American cheese on burgers… But Havarti or Swiss? Yes please!
See the opinion is unpopular but your reasoning is idiotic
Put pickles on it then it all works
Cheeseburgers are the pinnacle of human achievement.
Have your +1
This may be the most unpopular opinion I have seen posted here.
Wrong
I don’t know if I have it in me to like this. it’s perfect for the sub tho
Burgers suck without cheese. It’s low quality meat to begin with and is saved by cheese and other toppings. If I want to taste the beef, I’m having steak or rib roast.
>big ass piece of cheddar
American cheese is the superior burger cheese imo
I only prefer yellow cheese.
Ray Allen, that you?
That’s why American cheese is the best cheese for a burger. No grease. No strong flavor.
What madness is this.
What kind of a person would even…. hoo..
Do you like cheese in other contexts?
How the hell does a slice of American or cheddar “overpower” the burger? WTF kind of idiotic opinion is that?
How Dare You!!!
Very unpopular opinion. I don’t think I’ve had a burger without cheese in years. Well done.
Bonjour , c’est quoi le problème avec le fromage enfaite wtf ???
You don’t like life ???
Unpopular opinion indeed.
I don’t really like burgers but if that’s all there is it needs cheese.
This certainly belongs in this sub, like I fundamentally disagree with your take on a extreme level.
Okay but you better season it like a steak
People that order hamburgers are psychopaths.
USDA will be serving you
American cheese is best because it melts without splitting
Cheddar is not the cheese for burgers. American, pepper jack, or Munster. But also have an upvote for not having a pallet.
Well played👏
I thought I was the only one
If it’s a pretty plain piece of cheese, sure. But when you can actually taste it, it adds a bit of flair.
Here I am not being able to eat a burger without cheese lol
I always get hamburgers instead of cheeseburgers but because I don’t find that cheese adds anything to it. I can barely taste the cheese. So for me paying an extra $1 for something I don’t taste is pointless. It’s like do you put cheese on steak? No
I think it really depends on the cheese. Some cheeses can absolutely overpower, specifically the sharper ones like cheddar. American, provolone, or mozzarella cheeses are much more mild and provide a good balance.
I never understand these “[x ingredient] totally overpowers the meal” on basic foods like this. Like what kind of cheese are you putting on it? Most cheeses that are used for burgers are pretty subtle compared to the other ingredients on them. Especially the most common which is American cheese.
I think you must have some kind of allergy to cheese, because cheese that you would put on a burger is rarely ever a strong flavor.
Not to mention what a disgusting soggy sloppy mess it becomes after a couple of bites
Popular opinion: cheese makes everything better
Cheeseburgers are probably my favorite food yet I almost won’t even touch a hamburger. Unless it’s really well made. Just doesn’t feel worthwhile without some ooey gooey cheese gluing it all together.
Waaaahhhhh! Food yucky! Waaahhhhhh. LOL
So you’re saying that out of all ingredients that can be on a burger, cheese is the overpowering one??Not pickles not tomatoes or any sauce?? I genuinely don’t think I’d notice if cheese was removed from my burger lol
Prude
R u Jewish?
Are you sure you just don’t like cheddar? Have you tried other cheeses on your burger? I’m a fan of pepperjack.
Upvoting this one. 🧀
Tomatoes make most of my burgers insanely wet.
I don’t even consider a burger without cheese to be edible, I respect the risky take
Wow you must be fun at parties.
I agree. Some burgers I can eat with cheese, some I just can’t. Whoppers from BK for example, I find if they have cheese, all I can taste is the damn cheese.
You mean the hamburger is overpowering the cheese.
Upvote, indeed this is unpopular, and very untrue.
I have dairy issues and miss the days when I could just order a cheeseburger. Now I order a peasant burger with a side of cries
Holy shit. Is your next post going to be about how vanilla is your favorite flavor?
Screw it. Put two slices on my burger. Three, even.
Putting a block of cheese, agree. Putting a slice of cheese, nah. The cheese adds to the burger. You’re doing it wrong if you don’t let the cheese
Overpowers? I don’t think we’re getting the same kind of cheese on our burgers.
Shut up
Grease=flavor you=no like flavor
I’ve never upvoted a post here faster. This might be the worst one yet. And your argument makes absolutely no sense. Well done.
I love cheeseburgers. Even mcdonalds shitty cheeseburgers taste good to me
OP is lactose intolerant and just doing the sour grapes thing.
You are not alone, I also prefer hamburgers. The only kind of cheese I might add is pepperjack but I hate American and cheddar and that’s usually the only option.
Upvote, just a horrific take.
I think you are completely wrong and that this is an awful opinion…but you get an upvote for posting an actual unpopular opinion!
Absolutely insane take have an upvote
Your opinion absolutely sucks. Take my upvote
I’ll throw you a bone and say that some cheeses are too strongly flavored for some burgers. Otherwise, I like my cheese on burgers.
Im not sure here about upvote or downvote. There are obviously quite a few people who agree with you or hamburgers (without cheese) wouldn’t be on menus at all, and they obviously are. That indicates downvote.
But that said, you said they’re awful and not just ‘not great’ or not your preference. So that would indicate upvote…
I went with upvote.
My own son sorta agrees with you. He always orders a cheese burger and then immediately scraps off the hot cheese. He wants a residue of cheese, a veneer…. But not an actual slice.
That’s fucking insane. Nice job
Oh, I hate hamburger. The cheese is an upgrade IMO. I’d rather have a grilled cheese with quality cheese on awesome bread.
I’m calling the police.
L take
Eating a cheeseburger as I read this…
You came to the right place.
I was about to argue that cheese is delicious, and some form of it can be used for just about anything—hell, historically Parmesan ice cream is a thing that exists—but now I’m stuck on “prude,” trying to figure out how that word applies.
Your beef patty is bland and shitty if a single slice of cheddar is enough to overpower it completely. Obviously fast food is the worst culprit, so generally I’d agree with you in that situation. I tend to crave fast food chicken more than burgers.
The most popular food in the world is wrong I’m the only one doing it right. Perfect post for here though 😂
Well, it is the unpopular opinion sub.
Well done.
I hate you
Nothing better than some blue cheese on a burger.
I will often get a burger without the cheese because I personally prefer it, but to say it doesn’t belong is insanity.
What kind of funky stank ass cheese are you putting your burgers that it stands out so much? Cheese is not usually the star of the show on a burger and it is more of a compliment to the other flavours.
You get my angriest upvote of all time!
Lol, updoot for unpopular.
Cheese is great, but there’s sadists out there that put tomato and pickles on it.
I’ll fight over this one.
Cheese (no processed cheese product) has a place on everything.
Literally any cheese is better than no cheese.
Very unpopular
STFU
OP thinks grease comes from the cheese and not the meat?
For the fuckteenth time.
Food preferences are not unpopular opinions.
What, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck!
100% the most offensive post I’ve seen on this subreddit. You’re twisted and need help. You got my upvote.
I don’t disagree. I like my burgers without the cheese.
Take my upvote, but my kid would agree with you. It took an agonizingly long time to get her to order a “hamburger” instead of “a cheeseburger no cheese”. Now we have less crying in restaurants.
Agreed. It’s basic and unnecessary. It has the mouth feel of a solid slice of mayo, just taste like fat and nothing else.
Agree. Cheese can overwhelm things like sugar does. However, the right burger and the right cheese works But I enjoy many burgers without cheese because the beef can shine through if well cooked.
How do you like your pizza?
Grew up on tomato pie, no mozzarella until I turned 20
I still like pizza with no cheese
Tomato pie please.
Burgers are so different, people putting eggs on them now.
AGREED! also because i hate cheese lol
Might be the worst take I’ve ever heard
What a horrible, horrible, opinion.
Have you tried peanut butter instead?
No ones making you add cheese bro
Your opinion is wrong, but I will take tomato, onions, mustard, etc, over a plain cheeseburger.
Boooooo!!! 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅
You’ve just earned a one way ticket to gof*ckyourselftown
I’m calling the police.
I know it’s unpopular, but I actually agree to a certain extent. Most burgers I order will be with no cheese. There are exceptions like In n out, shroom and Swiss burgers from anywhere, Big Macs and western bacon cheeseburgers from Carl’s Jr. On every other burger, I think cheese is disgusting. Those slabs of American cheese are gross. I really hate that cheeseburgers are the default and you have to specify that you don’t want cheese.
Hamburgers are a delicious American staple, and cheese usually fucks that up.
How strong is the cheese you’re having that it overpowers the taste of grilled beef? Burger cheese is not usually very strong at all.
Finally an opinion that makes me genuinely angry… good job OP and get fcked 😂
You ate at a wrong place then
