- Sear for flavor: Brown the patties in a hot skillet before you add in the French onion soup. Searing adds a depth of flavor and crispiness.
- Use high-quality beef: Use lean ground beef (usually around 90% lean) for a flavorful but not overly fatty patty.
- Season well: Don’t skimp on seasoning. Mix the ground beef with breadcrumbs, shredded onions, salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to ensure the patties are well-flavored.
- Make it gluten-free: Substitute the bread crumbs for either gluten-free bread crumbs or cornflakes and replace all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour.
