Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Form the mixture into oblong patties, about 1 inch thick. Set aside.
Cooking the Onions

Combining
  1. Add the sautéed onions back into the skillet, allowing the flavors to meld.
Serving
  1. Plate the patties and pour the onion gravy generously over them. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
