Who doesn’t love a great cheeseburger recipe? From the juicy meat to the ooey, gooey melted cheese to the bun, these make a fantastic lunch or dinner and it’s easy to rustle up your own rather than heading to a burger restaurant. However, these cheeseburgers aren’t exactly made the traditional way.

Instead of the sesame seed topped buns you’d expect with cheeseburgers, these are made in submarine sandwich buns, giving them a crunchier texture and a different taste.

Using firm buns is important because they will need to hold the cheeseburger ingredients and that’s why burger buns work so well and so do subs. Don’t use soft buns because they might fall apart when you add the burger patties and other ingredients.

Since these make such yummy comfort food, you might like to consider French fries, wedges or potato salad on the side. You’ll love this unusual take on the classic cheeseburger recipe.

Why You’ll Love the Recipe:
You can’t go wrong with tasty homemade cheeseburgers and this recipe is extra-special because it uses sub rolls in place of the more commonly used hamburger buns.
How to Serve Them:
These cheeseburger subs should be served hot, perhaps with fries, wedges, potato salad, coleslaw, or whatever you usually have with burgers.
