In a medium bowl, combine ground meat with egg, bread crumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Line the slow cooker with a slow cooker liner for easy clean up.
Form mixture into 12 meatballs, taking care not to make them too compact. Place meatballs in the bottom of the lined slow cooker. Pour pasta sauce over meatballs, making sure that each one is completely covered.
Cook on Low for 8 hours on High for 4 hours or until meatballs are done.
To serve, cut each roll lengthwise; place 3 meatballs inside. Sprinkle with Mozzarella cheese. The hot meatballs should cause the cheese to melt, but if not, you may place sandwiches under the oven broiler for a minute to melt cheese completely.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if desired, and serve hot.
