Steps:
- 1. Pat the ground beef into a rather flat, large patty. Grate onion directly over meat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon cream over meat.
- 2. Blend well - but gently - with your hands until combined.
- 3. Form meat into four patties. - for rare burgers, make patties about 1 and 1/4 inches thick.
- 4. Heat oil and butter together into a heavy (preferably iron) skillet. When quite hot, add patties and cook to desired doneness. Turn only once or twice while cooking, and DO NOT press meat down with spatula.
- 5. When done to your liking, add a slice of cheese, if using. Heat from burgers will melt cheese slightly. Prepare buns as desired.
