Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with oil and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and form into four equal-sized patties.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the beef patties for about 2-3 minutes on each side, just until browned. Remove from the skillet and arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
Return the skillet to medium heat. Melt the butter and add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly golden.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then slowly whisk in the milk. Continue to cook and stir until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the mushroom sauce evenly over the beef patties in the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and breadcrumbs on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
