Cheeseburger BBQ Meatball Sub

A perfectly buttered and grilled submarine bun, filled with juicy, perfectly seasoned beef patties, topped with melted cheddar cheese and crispy bacon. Add pickles for a kick, a generous dose of Texas Firebarns BBQ sauce for a smoky, spicy kick, and each bite becomes a firework of unapologetic comfort food. It's decadent, generous, and, above all, impossible to forget.
