4 tbsp. sour cream
6 tsp. onion, chopped very fine or grated
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground pepper
4 English muffins
Unsalted butter

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, sour cream, onion, salt and pepper. Mix with a fork, without mashing or compacting the meat! Preheat a skillet over moderate heat.
