Salsa Options in Slow Cooker Sweet Pork:
We recommend using a jarred, stewed salsa, paying careful attention to the spice level, so you do not get a level of spice higher than you can handle and enjoy.
Garlic:
Feel free to substitute 1 teaspoon of powdered or granulated garlic for the freshly minced garlic, if desired.
