Steamed Cheeseburger (Connecticut Style)
A faithful recreation of the iconic Connecticut steamed cheeseburger using a home‑style multi‑stage steamer. The beef patty is gently steamed until tender, then topped with molten mild white cheddar, all sandwiched in a soft‑on‑the‑inside, slightly crisp Kaiser roll with classic toppings and a quick “special sauce.”
