Gravy:
- 2 (10.75 oz) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk

Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Make Gravy: In a medium bowl, whisk together condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, and parsley. Set aside.
- Prepare Patties: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, crushed saltines, milk, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and form into even-sized patties. Dredge each patty in flour.
- Brown Patties: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear patties on both sides until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary.
