Making Bourbon BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Meatball Subs is simple when you follow these clear steps:

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

2. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and prepare your workspace, ensuring you have everything ready.

3. Mix Meatball Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.

4. Shape Meatballs: Form the mixture into meatballs about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

5. Bake Meatballs: Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and browned.

6. Heat BBQ Sauce: While the meatballs are baking, warm the bourbon BBQ sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.

7. Combine Meatballs and Sauce: Once the meatballs are done, add them to the warmed BBQ sauce, tossing to coat evenly.

8. Prepare Rolls: Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise, without cutting all the way through, to create a pocket for the meatballs.

9. Assemble Subs: Stuff each roll with meatballs, spooning extra BBQ sauce over them as desired.

10. Add Toppings: Sprinkle crumbled bacon and shredded cheese atop the meatballs in each sub.

11. Melt Cheese: Place the assembled subs back in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

12. Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with optional toppings like pickles or jalapeños, and serve warm.
