    I was a bit hesitant about the hot salsa, but it really mellows out during the cooking process. The flavor is amazing, and it's not too spicy at all.

  • Brian Ryan

    This recipe is a lifesaver on busy weeknights! I throw everything in the slow cooker in the morning, and dinner is ready when I get home. My family loves it!

  • Dayna Gutkowski

    I've made this recipe several times, and it's always a hit. I sometimes add a handful of chopped vegetables, like bell peppers or onions, for extra nutrients.
