I will often times get burger (doesn't matter the % of fat for this cook
method) season well, put in a steamer rack on top of a coffee filter
that sits inside a smaller size stock pot. Two cups of water boiling,
add the steamer rack to the pot, cover and cook for appropriate time
(depends on thickness of the burger. In the above case, I mentioned
loose meat so the form was more like a maid-rite which is just highly
seasoned burger that is in loose format, and served on steamed buns with
mustard, chopped onions, and pickles. I could have also made them in a
hamburger shape (I have those round egg molds for frying eggs for muffin
sandwiches) but since I was making some for chili, I didn't bother.
Throw in a couple of buns to steam before serving. But I did saute
mushrooms and onions in olive oil to add to the burger after I broke it
up. Chopped raw onion is also a normal topping for the sandwiches.

The burger cooked this way is pretty ugly coming out as it's gray, but
it does taste good, and is a healthy way to cook it.

The remainder that I'll use for chili will go into a saute pan with
cumin and chili pepper (I use chipotle), stir until somewhat dry, and
add to chili base (and yes I use beans).

My dog even benefits as he gets some of the greased water to his dry
food before disposing of the water :-)

In sandwich form, you could also add shredded cheese (I uses cheddar or
mozzarella)or if you formed the burgers, sliced cheese also works well.
