Baked Cheesy Meat Patties Recipe

 Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Mix the base: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, egg, milk, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano.
3. Add flavor and cheese: Gently mix in shredded cheese and ketchup, being careful not to overwork the meat.
4. Shape the patties: Form the mixture into flat, round patties and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil.
6. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
7. Optional finish: Sprinkle additional cheese over the patties and return to the oven for 5 minutes, until melted and the patties are cooked through.
8. Rest and serve: Let the patties rest for 5 minutes before serving.

 Delicious with roasted vegetables, a fresh green salad, or served on buns for an easy cheesy burger-style meal.
