Prepare the Mixture:
In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and egg.
Add the minced garlic, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Mix in the fresh herbs until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Shape the Patties:
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into patties of your desired size.
Cook the Patties:
Heat a little oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve or Freeze:
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, or let the patties cool completely.
For meal prep, arrange the cooled patties in a single layer in a freezer bag.
Freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through
