I started too late in the day to use my slow cooker so I made this in a dutch oven on top of the stove. I also used what I had on hand......two cans of low fat refried black beans and Trader Joe's peach salsa. I sauteed the onion after browning the pork. Yummy and just a hint of sweetness. - 7/23/10

I agree with you. I forgot to say in the instructions that I usually take out the roast and then drain the beans and tomatoes in a colander. I can't figure out how to change the recipe now, though. Sometimes I also use 3 cans of black beans, and this helps a little too.

It would be nice if you stated what size bottle of salsa to use. I figured a guess would work and it did. As you suggested in the comments, I drained off the extra liquid. I shredded the pork, mixed it altogether and served it in a tortilla with lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream. Yum! - 10/1/12

I added a total of 3 cans of black beans drained and rinsed, to cut back on the sodium, 1 cn. of Green Chilies, and 1 can of Tomatoes (oregano, Basil, Garlic) along with the jar of salsa...served as burritos with shredded lettuce inside! It gave it a little more flavor with a Tex-Mex taste! Thanks - 8/3/10

Delicious! I used medium Pace Salsa and a 2.5 pound pack of pork tenderloin (two seperate pieces so they cooked faster) from Costco. 5 hours on high in the crockpot. So flavorful! I had it plain, everyone else ate it as a burrito filling. Froze the second half to take camping next week! - 5/27/10
