A delightful twist on Italian-style ground beef patties, perfect for a hearty dinner.
Combine the ground beef, water, seasoning salt, black pepper, and parsley in a mixing bowl until well mixed.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the patties tough.
Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
Use damp hands to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Coat each patty in flour, then dip in beaten egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
Press the breadcrumbs gently onto the patties to ensure they stick well.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the patties on both sides.
Don't overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.
Place the browned patties in a baking dish, top with mozzarella cheese, and pour spaghetti sauce over them.
Ensure the sauce covers the patties to keep them moist during baking.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 25 minutes.
Check the internal temperature of the patties to ensure they are fully cooked.
Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and garnish with parsley before serving.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
