12 ounces vegetable juice
1 1/4 ounces taco seasoning mix
4 ounces mexican cheese blend
1/2 cup sour cream
Recipe
1. Heat oven to 375. In 3-quart Dutch oven or casserole, mix first seven ingredients; cover.

Terri's Notes:
-- OK, I threw everything that was supposed to go in the oven in the crockpot on low for 8+ hours. Seems to have turned out OK. I wasn't in the mood to eat that night, and Rob didn't want any, so DH was left as the guinea pig. He liked it.
-- The cans of diced tomatoes with green chiles I picked up at the store said "Hot". Given that I don't do spicy and had planned on Rob eating it as well, I subbed a can of plain diced tomatoes for one of the green chile enhanced cans.
-- DH's one suggestion was to do away with the pearl onions (too big IHO), so I'll probably use either fresh chopped onions or 1 1/2 cups of frozen bell pepper and onion stir-fry mix (thawed and chopped).
-- I think next time I do this in the crockpot, I'll just throw in the frozen meatballs (and not worry about thawing them).
