EASIEST TACO MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Puree seasoning mix, pork& beans, onion, green pepper, and soup in blender or food processor. Add a few ounces of water if the sauce is too thick to pour, but you don't want it runny. Cooking in the crockpot will also add moisture.
• Put meatballs (frozen is okay) in the crockpot and pour the pureed sauce over the top.
• Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
• Optional: Add chopped hot peppers and/or hot sauce to taste. I usually add the peppers while cooking and/or hot sauce after.
