Add sour cream and consommé and cook for 2 minutes. Correct seasoning. Bring to boil, stirring constantly and scraping bottom of skillet until brown crust is dissolved. Pour over meat. Serve hot. Comments: They also have it! It is not called hamburger but "Bitoque." It is different from American hamburger, but evidently belongs to the same family. Like its American cousin, French hamburger is inexpensive, quickly cooked, and good to eat. Recipe Source: THE ART OF FRENCH COOKING by Fernande Garvin
