Home Steamed Cheeseburgers with Caramelized Onions
Ingredients
Burgers
- 20 oz. ground beef
- 6 oz. or more grated cheddar cheese
- 4 fresh baked hard rolls
- Salt, pepper, Worcester sauce, or other seasonings
Garnish
- Caramelized onions or condiments to taste
Instructions
- Season ground beef to taste, divide, and shape into 5-oz. round patties, placing them in the pans. We used 3.5” x 5” bread pans and steamed in batches. Prepare steamer and bring 2 cups of water to boil in the bottom tray. Grate cheese into a third pan and steam for ~10 minutes, or until significantly melted, before adding the meat tier.
Notes
Steam the burgers on the bottom layer with the cheese continuing to cook on top, ~10 more minutes. Check for doneness. Remove the burgers with a slotted spatula and give the cheese an extra stir. Plate on sturdy rolls and serve with toppings of your choice. Don’t forget the napkins.
