Ingredients
  

For the Patties
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef (Ground chuck is recommended for a juicier result.) Use ground chuck for best results.
  • 1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs Helps bind the mixture and adds texture.
  • 1 large egg Acts as a binder for the patties.
For the Gravy
  • 1 can Campbell's French onion soup (10 1/2 ounces) Provides a rich and flavorful base.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, and egg. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Mix gently — overworking makes tough patties.
  2. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into oval patties about 3/4-inch thick.
Cooking
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Brown the patties 2–3 minutes per side until a crust forms; don’t cook all the way through. Transfer patties to a plate.
  3. Pour any excess fat from the pan, leaving about 1 teaspoon for flavor.
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  1. 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.
