1. Season ground beef as desired. Divide into 12 small patties. Flatten ground beef patties to fit larger than size of roll (patty will shrink when cooked.)

2. Dice onion into small pieces and sauté in heavy skillet with butter over medium heat until translucent.

3. Places patties over onions and press patties down firmly with spatula; this allows the onions to cook into patties.
