A delightful twist on the classic Salisbury steak, featuring a rich and flavorful gravy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, seasoned breadcrumbs, ketchup, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
Shape the mixture into six equal-sized patties and place them on a baking sheet.
Use slightly wet hands to prevent sticking while shaping the patties.
Bake the patties in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until fully cooked.
Check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
While the patties are baking, prepare the brown gravy according to the package instructions in a saucepan.
Stir continuously to avoid lumps in the gravy.
Serve the baked patties topped with the prepared gravy.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
