keep the steam and moisture in while baking, which helps the patties cook through gently and stay tender.

Foil-covered baking dish ready for the oven

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through and no longer pink in the center (an instant-read thermometer should read 160°F/71°C in the thickest part).

Carefully remove the foil, then return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 5 to 10 minutes to let the top of the sauce thicken slightly and pick up a little color around the edges.

Baked patties with bubbling gravy fresh from the oven

Let the dish rest for about 5 minutes before serving so the sauce can settle and thicken a bit more. Spoon the creamy mushroom gravy over each patty when plating, and serve hot.
