# Instructions:
01 -
Heat the oven to 375°F. Cut your bread in half lengthwise and coat each piece with butter. Add a sprinkle of garlic salt and bake for roughly 10 minutes, or until it’s golden and smells amazing.
02 -
Toss your ground beef and chopped onions into a big skillet over medium heat. Break the meat apart as it cooks, and once it’s browned, drain the extra grease.
03 -
Stir in mustard, garlic powder, ketchup, water, salt, and pepper. Let it all simmer for 5 minutes to thicken into a hearty mixture.
04 -
Spread the saucy beef mix over the toasted bread halves. Don’t hesitate—pile it high!
05 -
Sprinkle both types of grated cheese all over the top. Be generous—it’s the best part.
06 -
Pop it back in the oven for about 5-7 minutes. When the cheese is all bubbly, pull it out, top with parsley, slice, and dig in while it’s warm!
