Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- In a bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, and egg. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Mix gently — overworking makes tough patties.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into oval patties about 3/4-inch thick.
Cooking
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Brown the patties 2–3 minutes per side until a crust forms; don’t cook all the way through. Transfer patties to a plate.
- Pour any excess fat from the pan, leaving about 1 teaspoon for flavor.
- Add the can of Campbell’s French onion soup to the skillet. If you like a thicker gravy, stir in 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water.
- Return patties to the skillet, spooning some gravy over them. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 12–15 minutes until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Serving
- Spoon extra gravy over the patties and serve immediately.

Notes
For leaner patties, use 90/10 beef but expect a slightly drier result; add 1–2 tablespoons olive oil or a splash of milk if needed. Gluten-free option: substitute gluten-free breadcrumbs.
