Awesome Steamed Cheeseburgers! Recipe - Food.com 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

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 ounces ground beef, I used ground chuck
4 ounces cheddar cheese, 2 slices (I use Cabot, seriously sharp vermont cheddar)
2 slices onions
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups water

Steps:

  • divide ground beef in half and form into 2 six ounce patties.
  • season with seasoning salt and pepper to your liking.
  • place a metal rack in the bottom of the frying pan.
  • add water to a level just below the rack.
  • heat water on high heat until water begins to steam, reduce heat to medium.
  • place burgers on rack and cover.
  • steam for about 10 minutes.
  • top with cheese, cover and steam an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute or until cheese is melted.
  • top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
