Gluten-Free Steamed Cheeseburgers

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef (preferably 80% lean)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
4 gluten-free hamburger buns
4 slices of gluten-free American cheese
4 tablespoons ketchup
4 tablespoons mustard
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 leaves of lettuce
1 small onion, thinly sliced (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into thin burger patties. Season each patty with salt and black pepper on both sides.

In a skillet or on a griddle, heat a small amount of water over medium heat. Place a metal or heatproof glass bowl upside down on the skillet.

Place the burger patties on top of the inverted bowl. Cover the skillet with a lid and steam the patties for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of gluten-free American cheese on each patty to melt.

While the burgers are cooking, toast the gluten-free hamburger buns until they are lightly browned.

To assemble the Steamed Cheeseburgers, spread ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise on the toasted buns.

Place a steamed cheeseburger patty on the bottom half of each bun.

Top with a leaf of lettuce and sliced onion (if using).

Close the burgers with the top halves of the buns.

Enjoy your gluten-free Steamed Cheeseburgers! They're a unique twist on the classic burger, with tender and juicy patties steamed to perfection.
