Pour one jar of marinara sauce into the bottom of your slow cooker, ensuring an even layer.
Add the package of Cooked Perfect® Meatballs over the marinara sauce. Distribute evenly, then pour the remaining marinara sauce on top.
Sprinkle in shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the meatballs and sauce, gently stir to mix.
Cover and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours, checking halfway for even cooking and bubbling sauce.
Slice sub buns in half and toast lightly if desired to add crunch.
