How to Make Baked Beef Patties

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine onion powder, dried thyme, water, garlic salt, oregano, paprika, and pepper.
3. Add 1 pound of ground beef and mix well until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Shape the beef mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
5. Coat each patty in 1/2 cup of flour, ensuring they are evenly coated.
6. Dip each floured patty in the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off.
7. Then, coat each patty in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
8. In a large skillet, brown the patties in 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes per side.
9. Arrange the browned patties in a greased shallow baking dish.
10. Pour half of the spaghetti sauce over the patties.
11. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
12. Top with the remaining spaghetti sauce.
13. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and remaining thyme over the top.
14. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the meat is no longer pink and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
15. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
