- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Instructions
- Blend ground beef with dry onion soup mix, breadcrumbs, egg, and beef broth in a mixing bowl until ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Carefully shape the meat mixture into 4 uniform patties, ensuring even thickness for consistent cooking.
- Preheat skillet or grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375-400°F.

Notes
- Caramelize onions in advance for deeper, richer flavor before mixing into burger meat to enhance overall taste profile.
- Choose high-quality ground beef with 80/20 fat content to ensure juicy, flavorful burgers that won’t dry out during cooking.
- Swap traditional hamburger buns with crusty French bread or toasted sourdough to amplify the French onion soup-inspired concept.
- Consider adding a splash of red wine or brandy to the burger mixture for an extra layer of sophisticated, complex flavor reminiscent of classic French onion soup.
