Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350º F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together condensed cream of mushroom soup and whole milk, then stir in freshly chopped parsley. Set aside.
• In a separate, large bowl, combine ground beef, crushed saltines, milk, Italian seasoning, garlic and onion powders, and cayenne, then season liberally with salt and pepper.
• Using your hands or two forks, combine ingredients until just mixed. Gently form into even-sized patties.
• Place 1 cup all-purpose flour (or more, as needed) in a shallow dish and dredge all patties.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear patties on both sides until golden brown. Insides will still be undercooked.
• Transfer browned patties to greased baking dish, then evenly top with gravy and cover dish with aluminum foil.
• Place baking dish in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until cooked through.
