# Instructions:
01 -
Put the oven back on 375°F. Lay both cheeses all over everything and get ready to make magic.
02 -
Scoop that warm beef mix onto the slices of garlicky bread. Stack it up. Seriously, go big.
03 -
All those seasonings—mustard, water, ketchup, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper—go in now. Keep it bubbling for five minutes, so things get good and thick.
04 -
Medium heat on the stove, drop in onion and beef. Crumble as you stir. Once it’s all browned, drain out the fat left behind.
05 -
Slice that bread down the middle. Spread every bit of butter over the cut sides. Sprinkle with garlic salt. Toast in the oven for ten minutes until it smells awesome and is just golden.
06 -
Throw it back in for 5 to 7 minutes until the cheese is super gooey and starts to brown. Scatter on parsley, slice it up, and dig in while it's still melt-y!
