hamburger buns

🥗Healthier: whole grain buns

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain buns add fiber and nutrients.

Fill a pot halfway with water and bring it to a boil.

Add 1 pound of hamburger meat to a bowl.

Sprinkle salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper on the meat without mashing it too much.

Form the meat into patties, making sure to season both sides.

Once the water is boiling, add the first patty to the steamer pot.

After 4 minutes, flip the patty and add the other patties to the pot.

Cover the pot and steam the patties for a total of 8 to 10 minutes.

When the patties are done, add slices of sharp cheddar cheese on top and cover to let the cheese melt.

While the cheese is melting, fry the hamburger buns.

Once the cheese is melted, remove the patties and place them on a separate plate.

Spread mayonnaise on both sides of the bun, then add the patty with melted cheese.

Top with caramelized onions, tomato slices, and Magnificent sauce.

Serve with pickles on the side.
