 Step by Step Instructions

 STEP 1: 

Pour a jar of alfredo sauce into a skillet.

Add some water to the jar and shake it well to loosen all the stuck on sauce.

Pour the water into the skillet and turn the heat on to medium.

 STEP 2: 

Add some frozen meatballs to the skillet.

Place a lid on the skillet and and leave the meatballs to simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.

 STEP 3: 

After 15 minutes I removed the lid and stirred well.

I continued cooking the meatballs for a few minutes, uncovered, to allow the sauce to thicken up.

Then I removed the skillet from the heat and set it aside.

 STEP 4: 

I sliced open 4 sub buns.

I spread store bought garlic spread on the opened up sub buns.

 STEP 5: 

I placed the sub buns on a large baking sheet.

I spooned the meatballs and alfredo sauce onto the buns.

 STEP 6: 

I sprinkled shredded mozzarella cheese and crumbled bacon over the buns.

 STEP 7: 

I placed the baking sheet in the oven and baked the subs until they were well toasted and the cheese was fully melted and just starting to brown around the edges.

 STEP 8: 

I removed the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkled some fresh chopped parsley over the subs.

Then the creamy, cheese meatball subs were ready to serve!
