In a large bowl, combine the dry onion soup mix, lean ground meat, fresh bread crumbs, sour cream or yogurt, egg, and thyme or basil.
Sprinkle unbleached all-purpose wheat flour into a 9-inch pie dish.
Press the ground meat mixture into the bottom and sides of the prepared dish, forming edges 3/4 of an inch above the dish and creating a "well" in the center.
