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!

Steps:
- Combine beef, soy sauce, onion powder, tomato paste, salt, and pepper in bowl. Divide beef into 4 balls. Gently flatten into patties ¾ inch thick and 4 inches wide. Press shallow divot in center of each patty. Bring 4 cups water to boil in covered Dutch oven over medium-high heat (water should not touch bottom of steamer basket). Arrange patties in steamer basket. Set steamer basket inside Dutch oven, cover, and cook for 8 minutes. Remove Dutch oven from heat and divide cheese evenly among burgers, cover, and let sit until cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Place top buns on burgers and bottom buns, cut side up, on top of top buns. Cover and let sit until buns soften, about 30 seconds. Transfer bottom buns to cutting board, add condiments, and top with burgers and top buns. Serve. This cooks them to med well. For med only cook for 7 minutes.
Tips:
- Use lean ground beef. This will help to reduce the amount of grease in your cheeseburgers.
- Season the beef well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Form the beef into thin patties. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Use a steamer basket. This is the best way to cook cheeseburgers evenly without overcooking them.
- Add the cheese towards the end of cooking. This will help to prevent it from melting too much.
- Serve the cheeseburgers immediately. They are best enjoyed hot off the steamer.
Conclusion:
Steamed cheeseburgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional fried cheeseburgers. They are lower in fat and calories, and they are just as flavorful. If you are looking for a new way to enjoy cheeseburgers, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
