Treat your ingredients with care...

• Ground beef — Choose lean ground beef for a healthier option. If desired, you can mix different types of ground meat, such as beef and pork, for added flavor.
• Special Sauce — Adjust the sweetness and tanginess of the sauce by adding more or less sugar and vinegar according to your taste preference.
• Hamburger buns — Opt for brioche buns for a richer flavor, or whole wheat buns for a healthier alternative.

Tips & Tricks

• For added flavor, you can sauté onions and mushrooms to serve as toppings for your steamed cheeseburger.
• Experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar or Swiss, to customize the flavor profile.
• If you don't have a steamer, you can use a large pot with a steamer basket or a colander placed over boiling water.
• To achieve a nice charred crust on the patties, you can quickly sear them in a hot skillet before steaming.
• Serve the steamed cheeseburgers with a side of crispy fries for a classic American meal.
