Start by adding 1.5 pounds of 90/10 ground chuck to a mixing bowl.

Add 0.5 cup of bread crumbs to the ground beef.

Crack in 1 egg into the mixture.

Add 1.5 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce.

Add diced parsley, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

Add 1 teaspoon of Better than Bouillon beef base for flavor.

Mix the ingredients together using your hands until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Shape the mixture into oval patties, about the size of a hamburger patty.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat.

Add the patties to the skillet and brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side, until lightly browned.

Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.

In the same skillet, add sliced onions and sauté until softened.

Add chopped garlic and sauté, being careful not to let it burn.

Pour in 3 cups of water and 0.5 cup of milk into the skillet.

Add another teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce and 1 teaspoon of Better than Bouillon beef base.

Return the browned patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy mixture.

Cover the skillet and transfer it to a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake for 35-45 minutes until the patties are fully cooked, checking with a temperature probe to ensure they reach at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

If the gravy is too thin, remove the patties, and thicken the gravy with cornstarch mixed with water on the stovetop.
