Get ready to sink your teeth into a flavor explosion with these Sticky BBQ Cheeseburger Meatball Subs! These hearty, handheld sandwiches combine the irresistible combination of juicy meatballs, gooey melted cheese, and a sweet, tangy BBQ sauce, all nestled inside toasted hoagie rolls.
Ingredients
- Ground Beef
- Breadcrumbs
- Milk
- Egg
- BBQ Sauce
- Cheddar Cheese
- Hoagie Rolls
- Butter
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, breadcrumbs, milk, and egg. Use your hands or a fork to mix the ingredients until they are just combined, being careful not to overmix. Form the mixture into evenly sized meatballs.
2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the meatballs on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
3. Once the meatballs are baked, transfer them to a bowl and toss them in the BBQ sauce until they are fully coated, ensuring each meatball is evenly covered in the sticky, flavorful sauce.
4. While the meatballs are baking, melt the butter in a skillet or on a baking sheet. Add the hoagie rolls and toast them until they are golden brown and crispy.
5. Fill each toasted hoagie roll with the saucy meatballs, then top with the shredded cheddar cheese. Place the filled rolls under the broiler for 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
These Sticky BBQ Cheeseburger Meatball Subs pair beautifully with crispy French fries, creamy coleslaw, or a fresh garden salad. For garnish, consider adding thinly sliced pickles, diced onions, or a sprinkle of fresh parsley or cilantro.
