AWESOME STEAMED CHEESEBURGERS!
I was inspired to try to make these at home after watching the Travel Channel when they aired a piece about a place called Ted's Restaurant in Meriden, CT. Where he makes these awesome looking, gooey cheese covered burgers. I can't think of anyone who has a steam box like the one Ted uses in his restaurant, and after viewing the episode, I wanted one! So, I grabbed my patty press from the cupboard and went on to try to make these awesome burgers at home with a large frying pan, glass lid, and the wire rack from my toaster oven. Since no flipping is involved, I decided to place a slice of onion on each burger while it steamed. I was very delighted to find that the burgers not only came out juicy and flavorful, but was also surprised on how fast and easy it was, and because there are no grease splatters, clean up was a cinch!

CHEESEBURGERS AND STEAMED BUNS
My grandmother loved to go camping in the mountains. She would take us along with her. We were young and loved cheeseburgers! She made the most delicious cheeseburgers using a coleman gas grill, or if at home, using her stove. Everyone knows how to make cheeseburgers, but my grandmother had a special touch, making everything...

Steps:
- 1. Using fresh hamburger, season the meat the way you like, and then make as many patties as you may need. I usually make about eight round patties, and each one is about one-two inches thick, and about four inches diameter. Cook the hamburgers patties using skillet without a lid, or, if using a grill, on top of grill, using medium heat. Make sure hamburger meat is throughly cooked. Never smash down hamburger while cooking them, since this squeezes all the meat juices, making dry hamburgers. Add cheese to each hamburger. Optional: fry about eight bacon slices, and then place them on top of every cooked cheeseburger.
- 2. Take hamburger buns out of plastic bag, and place bag aside for later use. Split open each hamburger bun, and sit the bottom bun on top of each cheeseburger-inside bun portion on top of cheeseburger. After that, the top half of bun-inside portion- sits on top of bottom bun. When finished, each cheeseburger has one bun sitting on top of each cheeseburger. Place a lid over cheeseburgers and buns (if using skillet), or shut the grill lid (if using grill)...add skillet to medium heat, or grill on medium heat (with lid closed)... for one minute or so..make certain to not overcook cheeseburgers. After about one minute, take off heat, and place every cheeseburger inside steamed buns..and then place every cheeseburger inside the bun plastic bag. Seal the end of plastic bag to hold in steam, keeping cheeseburgers and steamed buns warm.
- 3. Sometimes I mix diced onions, diced tomatoes, mushrooms, real bacon bits, etc..to a bowl of mayonaise, and top the cheeseburger with a dab of it. Also, I like to spritz my lettuce lightly with water, and slightly freeze the lettuce, then top my cheeseburger with it, along with the mayonnaise mix.
Tips for Making the Best Steamed Cheeseburgers:
- Choose high-quality ground beef: Opt for ground chuck or sirloin for a juicy and flavorful burger.
- Season the beef well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Don't overwork the beef: Mix the ingredients just until combined to prevent tough burgers.
- Form the burgers into patties: Make sure the patties are uniform in size and thickness for even cooking.
- Use a steamer basket: Place the burgers in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water to cook them gently.
- Steam the burgers until cooked through: Check the internal temperature of the burgers with a meat thermometer to ensure they have reached 160°F (71°C).
- Add cheese and toppings: Place a slice of cheese on each burger and top with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles.
