AWESOME STEAMED CHEESEBURGERS!



Awesome Steamed Cheeseburgers! image

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



Cheeseburgers and Steamed Buns image

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...

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb fresh angus hamburger, or, fresh ground chuck hamburger (do not use frozen patties)
1 or 2 pkg hamburger buns (amount depends on number of patties)
1 or 2 c mayonaise
1 or 2 whole tomatoes-diced
1 or 2 whole onions-diced
1 c mushrooms-diced
8 slice optional: bacon-cooked crisp, broken up or kept as slices
8 slice lettuce-one leaf for each cheeseburger
8 slice american cheese (one slice per patty)
Any other type of condiments: mustard, ketchup, etc.

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:

  • Choose high-quality ground beef for the best flavor and texture.
  • Partially freeze the ground beef before cooking to make it easier to form into patties.
  • Season the patties generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite seasonings.
  • Use a steamer basket or colander to steam the burgers over boiling water.
  • Steam the burgers for 10-12 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Top the burgers with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
  • Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Steamed cheeseburgers are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy a classic American meal. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like your burgers plain or loaded with toppings, steamed cheeseburgers are a surefire hit. So next time you are craving a burger, give this recipe a try.
