There’s something irresistible about the combination of tender meatballs, smoky bourbon BBQ sauce, melted cheese, and crispy bacon, all tucked into a toasted hoagie roll. These Bourbon BBQ Meatball Subs take classic comfort food to a whole new level, blending sweet, smoky, and savory flavors into one satisfying sandwich.
The meatballs themselves are juicy and flavorful, thanks to a mix of Parmesan, garlic, and smoked paprika. They’re seared for that golden crust, then baked until perfectly cooked through. Once they’re coated in a rich bourbon BBQ sauce, they become downright addictive.
But the real magic happens when the meatballs are loaded into hoagie rolls, smothered in cheese, and topped with crispy bacon before being broiled until melty and bubbling. Every bite delivers smoky BBQ flavor with creamy cheese and that unmistakable crunch of bacon.
