Crockpot Tex Mex Meatball Soup

Since we are all stuck at home cooking for the whole family I thought now would be a good time to share a few recipes. We eat a lot of Tex-Mex in our house, so this was something I was able to throw together with ingredients I already had on hand. You can swap out many of the ingredients for whatever you have in your pantry. For example, you can use any kind of rice, or beans, and if you’d like to use Rotel instead of regular diced tomatoes.
