Steamed Cheeseburgers
Author: Maddy & JD - Them Bites
A hand holds half of a steamed burger with lettuce, tomato, melted cheese, a partially cooked beef patty, and mustard on a bun. A knife and lettuce leaves are on a wooden cutting board in the background.
Central Connecticut makes their burgers with a twist- by steaming the burger and cheese separately for a deliciously juicy steamed cheeseburger.
