Fiesta Salsa – Slow Cooker Style
Impress your guests this weekend with homemade salsa! And what’s even better is this recipe makes itself while you’re away! Oh, the miracles of a slow cooker!
Just throw a few tomatoes in the bowl with some garlic, fresh jalapeño, and onion. Cover, cook, and let the magic happen. And, when I say magic I kind of mean it. Since there is not extra liquid in the bowl, the tomatoes literally roast.
It’s really pretty amazing!
