This entire recipe came about because I took a stroll through the clearance aisle of my local grocery store. There was a HUGE jug of chunky salsa on sale for less than $4. I usually prefer homemade salsa when were snacking with chips but this was a deal too good to pass up. Pre-made salsa is great to use as a simmering sauce like I did with this recipe for Quick  Turkey Chili Loaded Baked Potato
