In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Do not overmix to keep the patties tender.Shape the Patties
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing.Caramelize the Onions

Add a pinch of salt to enhance the sweetness of the onions.Cook the Patties
In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and heat over medium-high. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.
