1
Make the Meatballs
In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Form the mixture into meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter).
2
Cook the Meatballs
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place meatballs on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through.
3
Prepare the Marinara Sauce
In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until onion is translucent. Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes.
4
Make the Cheese Sauce
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add milk, whisking until thickened. Stir in asiago cheese and salt until melted and smooth.
5
Assemble the Sandwich
On each slice of Italian bread, place meatballs, spoon marinara sauce over the top, then drizzle with cheese sauce. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top.
6
Bake the Sandwich
Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
