# Steps:
01 -
Heat the oven to 190°C to ensure even toasting of the bread.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook chopped onion and minced garlic for 2 to 3 minutes until softened and fragrant, stirring frequently.

Add ground beef or turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook while stirring until no pink remains. Drain excess fat to maintain flavor without greasiness.

Incorporate ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 5 to 7 minutes until the mixture thickens and flavors meld, stirring occasionally.
05 -
Combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mash and mix thoroughly until well blended and speckled with green.
06 -
Spread a generous layer of garlic butter on the cut sides of the bread. Arrange on a baking tray, cut side up, and toast in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes until edges turn golden and aromatic.
07 -
Spoon the meat mixture evenly onto the toasted bread halves. Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the filling, ensuring coverage extends to the edges.
08 -
Return the tray to the oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
09 -
Slice and serve immediately while hot. Suggested accompaniments include fresh salad, fries, or pickles.
