I seriously wish I knew how easy it was to make homemade salsa verde a long time ago! It is so dang good, I don't think I can return to the jars from the store. We use salsa verde maybe every other week for this easy salsa verde crockpot, and now it has become a staple to have in the morning to put on the top of my eggs! Try it out, you won't go back.

Instructions:
On the stove, add white onion, tomatillos, and jalapeños to a pan. Add water just to cover it all. Bring to boil, and let boil about 10 minutes. Add to a blender, after straining water, and add cilantro, garlic, lime juice, and salt. Blend to a salsa consistency. I store it in a mason jar in the fridge. Store for about a week.
