Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium skillet, heat over medium-high and add ground beef, breaking it apart as it browns. Cook for 5 minutes until browned, then mix in onion and garlic. Sauté until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
  2. Once onions are soft, season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and beef broth, simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
  3. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
  4. Place butter-side-down slices on the skillet. Layer with cheddar cheese, beef mixture, and mozzarella. Top with remaining bread.
  5. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing down gently with a spatula. Flip when golden and cheese is melting.
  6. Remove sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and garnish with parsley before serving.
