Jillian Blair Martin
3/4 cup finely chopped onions
2 TBSP butter
Saute this slowly for about 10 min, until softened, not brown. Place in a mixing bowl.

Add to that:
1 1/2 lbs beef
2 TBSP fat(butter or lard)
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp thyme
1 egg
Mix all with a wooden spoon until very well incorporated. Form into six 3/4 inch patties. Cover with wax paper until ready to use.

Just before sauteing, roll patties in 1/2 flour on a plate, and shake excess off.

Place 1 TBSP butter and 1 TBSP EVOO in a skillet or two. Saute meat for about 3 min. each side. Makes med-well burgers!
