MY NEW FAVORITE WAY TO COOK BURGERS... | SAM THE COOKING GUY

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground chicken

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground chicken is often less expensive.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese cuts calories, while processed cheese is often cheaper.

burger buns

🥗Healthier: whole grain buns

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain buns offer more fiber, while white bread is often less expensive.

ketchup

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato sauce

💰Cheaper: store-brand ketchup

Homemade sauce is fresher, while store brands are budget-friendly.

Heat a pot of water to boiling for steaming.

Prepare vegetables by adding olive oil and butter to a pan over medium heat.

Add sliced white onion and poblano pepper to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Form a third of a pound of ground beef into a patty, seasoning both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Place the patty into a metal tray or colander that fits inside the pot for steaming.

Cover the pot with a lid and steam the patty for 8 minutes.

After 5 minutes of steaming, place American cheese on top of the patty to melt for the last 2 minutes.

During the last minute of steaming, place the burger bun in the pot to soften it.

Once the patty is done, remove it from the pot and place it on the bun.

Spread mayonnaise and a tiny bit of steak sauce on the bun before adding the patty.

Top the burger with the cooked peppers and onions.
