I absolutely love the mild salsa at our local Mexican restaurant. So, I decided to fight my winter blues with a burst of summer and try my hand at making my own salsa from scratch. Now you have to know that I am a total light weight when it comes to heat, so we made our salsa with sweet bell peppers instead of hot peppers.
Since it is winter here in Indiana right now, we added some yellow sunburst tomatoes (similar to grape tomatoes) to the Roma Tomatoes because they are the most flavorful tomatoes at our grocery store this time of year.

How to make homemade salsa in a crock pot
Place all ingredients in a 4-6 quart slow cooker except lime, salt and cilantro.
Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours until veggies are tender.
In batches, blend cooked ingredients until salsa reaches desired consistent.
Stir in lime juice, cilantro and salt to taste. Then serve with chips.
Crock Pot Salsa Notes:
- We used a 4.5 Quart Round Crock Pot to whip this up. You could probably make it in a 4 quart slow cooker, but not smaller.
- Our BlendTec Blender was super good and chopping things up fine. Almost too fine. Next time I think I may use our food processor instead.

Why not cut the Roma and Sunburst tomatoes before cooking them?
Reply
- Cris says
Hi Sharon-There is no need. I cut up the peppers and onions so they will cook faster, but the tomatoes cook up just fine and then the blender takes care of chopping them up during that step. Enjoy!

Hi Melanie-Feel free to add if you want. As I mention in the post, we don’t enjoy the heat, so we left them out. 😉

Hi Judi-
The sweetness of the bell peppers were enough to cut the acid for us, but it you feel it needs it, I don’t think it would hurt anything. Enjoy!Cris

Would adding a bit of sugar benefit this recipe?
