  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. In a 9x9-inch casserole dish, combine water, Worcestershire sauce, and tamari sauce. Arrange the meatballs in the dish.

  5. Serve the meatballs on the buns. Top each with a quarter piece of three-pepper Colby-Jack cheese, crispy fried onions, and a drizzle of hickory brown sugar barbecue sauce.
