In this country, hamburger is the same thing as ground beef. Sometimes
referred to as hamburger meat. "A" hamburger is a ground beef/hamburger
patty usually served in a bun but these days just as likely as a lettuce
wrap. If someone tells you to bring home some hamburger, they want you to
bring home ground beef. If they tell you to bring home a hamburger or some
hamburgers, then they want a/some sandwich/sandwiches.
