Steamed Cheeseburgers image

I was inspired to try to make these at home after watching the Travel Channel when they aired a piece about Ted's Restaurant in Meriden, CT. He makes these awesome looking, gooey cheese covered burgers. I can't think of anyone who has a steam box like Ted has, so after viewing the episode, I wanted one! So, I grabbed my patty...
