Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef or turkey

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup ketchup

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

4 slices thick-cut bread (like sourdough or ciabatta)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons butter, softened

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat.

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

      Stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook on low heat for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

        Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

          Take the slices of bread and spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice.

            Place the bread, buttered side down, on a baking sheet. Spoon a generous amount of the sloppy joe mixture onto each slice, then top with shredded mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

              Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

                Optional: For a crispier finish, broil on high for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely to prevent burning.

                  Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
