Instructions

  • Core the tomatoes and place in the crock pot whole.
  • Remove the seeds from the green pepper and roughly chop.
  • Remove the onion skin and roughly chop.
  • Peel and crush garlic cloves and dice.
  • Add all the ingredients to your crockpot.
  • Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  • Blend smooth with a stick blender. If you don’t have a stick blender, you can add it to your regular stand blender in batches to process.
  • Return to the crockpot and cook on low another 6-8 hours, with the lid slightly off to allow steam to escape.
