Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a glass baking dish with aluminum foil.

Mix remaining 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar together in a bowl to make a paste. Spoon on top of the patties.
6
Bake patties in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 35 to 45 minutes.
