Easy recipe with good flavor. You can make your own cooked meatballs or use the frozen from the store. I cheat and use the frozen. If using frozen just mix in no need to thaw if precooked. You can also add a drained can of corn You can make this vegan with the plant based meatballs .. Any kind is useable. Top with sour cream....
