    We also love Pepperoni Chicken Pasta Recipe. The kids love it and it’s so easy to fix.

    Is this frugal?

    Yes! I was out of my cheap canned crushed tomatoes that I bought with coupons, so I had to pay full price for  28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes at Aldi. It cost me $.89. That means, I made 2 jars of Pizza Sauce for $1! One jar of pizza sauce costs normally over $2, so I think I will take the $.50 jar -that is a 75% savings without every clipping a coupon. Plus, since we can often get canned tomatoes for $.10, you COULD save even more money. Talk about frugal!

    Freezer Friendly!

    Make sure you give this easy recipe a try and come back and let us know what you think. Remember, to make a double or triple batch and freeze these. I like to freeze it in either plastic containers or freezer bags. These containers are great to freeze in because they stack so nicely.

    You might also like this Crockpot Spaghetti Sauce Recipe. It is absolutely amazing. Plus, the slow cooker makes it just so very simple.

      I made this and used half that day and froze the rest in a pint jar. When I thawed and went to use the second half, it was very watery. Maybe be because I pureed the crushed tomatoes with an immersion blender? I have one family member who won’t eat it if he finds even the tiniest pieces of tomato. Other than that the taste was great and I would make it again but maybe only half a batch.

      Hmmmm… I haven’t had a problem with it being watery before. I’ll have to freeze it again to see.

      Do you think it would work if I weighed out 28 Oz of fresh tomatoes and processed them myself?

      It would look slightly different, but I have done that before and it is great!

      The recipe calls for 2 tsp garlic salt and I was wondering if garlic powder would work. Trying to cut down on salt intake.

      Garlic powder would work, but I would just to 1 tsp of garlic powder.

      If you make a large enough batch, you can can this for future use rather than freezing.

      I made this sauce this weekend and it is delicious! I added a bit of crushed red pepper because I like a little kick :). Thanks for the recipe!

      Exactly what I was looking for in a pizza sauce recipe. Frugal, quick, easy and delicious with ingredients I had on hand. I just used it to make pizza and this will now be my go to recipe instead of buying pizza sauce. Thanks!

      I, too, have family members that are very picky and don’t like chunks of tomato. Could we use a 28 oz. can of tomato sauce instead of the crushed tomatoes and still get the same taste result? Thank you very much!

    16. Erin Corbin says

      September 9, 2018 at 10:27 pm

      My family is pretty picky and doesn’t like chunks of tomato. Could a 28 oz. can of tomato sauce be substituted for the crushed tomatoes without affecting the taste?

      I just got an uuni pro pizza oven for my birthday. We had some friends over and I used your sauce recipe. They couldn’t get over how yummy it was. They were convinced I bought the sauce!
