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:
- Whisk the ketchup, mayonnaise, pickles and mustard in a small bowl until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Mix the ground beef, American cheese, red onion, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until well combined. Form the mixture into 8 small patties, each about 1 ounce and 2 inches in diameter.
- Divide the pizza dough into eight 2-ounce pieces. Working with one piece at a time, press the dough into a 4-inch round and place 1 cheeseburger patty into the center. Fold the edges of the dough over the patty, pinching it together in the center tightly so that the patty is completely covered and there is no gap for any cheese to spill out when cooking. Repeat with the remaining dough and patties. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to grill, up to 1 day.
- Place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet onto the grill and prepare the grill for medium heat (about 350 degrees F).
- Once preheated turn the burner underneath the skillet off. Brush the tops of the buns with the olive oil and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Place the buns into the heated cast-iron skillet, spacing them apart so none of them are touching. Cover the grill and cook, using grilling tongs to pick up and reposition the buns occasionally so they don't burn on the bottom, until the buns are golden brown and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the buns cool for at least 15 minutes before serving with the special sauce on the side.
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 taste much better. Everything she made always tasted much better than the normal, since she added her touch!

Steps:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Steps:
- Sprinkle the yeast over 1 cup of warm water in a large bowl. The water should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam. Combine the flour, sugar, and baking soda in a small bowl. Stir half of the flour mixture into the yeast mixture until no dry spots remain. Stir in the remaining flour, a 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 15 minutes.
- Lightly oil a large bowl, then place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and form into rounds.
- Place a steamer insert into a saucepan, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the buns, recover, and steam for 20 minutes. Serve hot.

CHINESE STEAMED BUNS
Here's some yummy, Chinese dim sum you can make, either plain without meat fillings, or with meat fillings. A wok equipped with a stainless steel steam plate, a plate with holes to allow steam to pass, is required to make these tasty buns. You may use milk in place of the warm water if you wish.

Steps:
- Mix together yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and 1/4 cup warm water. Allow to stand for 30 minutes.
- Mix in 1/2 cup warm water, flour, salt, 2 tablespoons sugar, and vegetable oil. Knead until dough surface is smooth and elastic. Roll over in a greased bowl, and let stand until triple in size, about 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
- Punch down dough, and spread out on a floured board. Sprinkle baking powder evenly on surface, and knead for 5 minutes. Divide dough into 2 parts, and place the piece you are not working with in a covered bowl. Divide each half into 12 parts. Shape each part into a ball with smooth surface up. Put each ball on a wax paper square. Let stand covered until double, about 30 minutes.
- Bring water to a boil in wok, and reduce heat to medium; the water should still be boiling. Place steam-plate on a small wire rack in the middle of the wok. Transfer as many buns on wax paper as will comfortably fit onto steam-plate leaving 1 to 2 inches between the buns. At least 2 inches space should be left between steam-plate and the wok. Cover wok with lid. Steam buns over boiling water for 15 minutes.
- REMOVE LID BEFORE you turn off heat, or else water will drip back onto bun surface and produce yellowish "blisters" on bun surfaces. Continue steaming batches of buns until all are cooked.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ground beef. The better the beef, the better the burger. Look for ground chuck or sirloin that is at least 80% lean.
- Season the beef simply. Salt and pepper are all you need to bring out the flavor of the beef. Avoid using too many other spices, as they can overpower the taste of the meat.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help prevent them from drying out. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side for a medium-rare burger, or 6-7 minutes per side for a medium-well burger.
- Use a good bun. The bun should be soft and fluffy, but sturdy enough to hold up to the burger and its toppings.
- Add your favorite toppings. Classic toppings include cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion. But you can also get creative with your toppings. Try avocado, bacon, or even a fried egg.
- Serve the burgers immediately. Cheeseburgers are best when they are served hot off the grill.
Conclusion:
Cheeseburgers are a classic American dish that is enjoyed by people of all ages. They are simple to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few tips and tricks, you can make the perfect cheeseburger at home.
