A delightful twist on classic barbecued beef patties, perfect for a hearty meal.
Combine all the barbecue sauce ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Stir the sauce occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together for a richer taste.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the dish inside for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, milk, oats, grated onion, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
Avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties and arrange them in a baking dish.
Use slightly wet hands to prevent the mixture from sticking while shaping.
Pour the prepared barbecue sauce evenly over the patties.
Ensure each patty is well coated with the sauce for maximum flavor.
Bake the patties uncovered in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Check the patties halfway through to ensure they are cooking evenly.
Serve the patties hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
