Clean Homemade Crock Pot Pizza Sauce

Mmm, I am a saucy kind of gal, are you? Extra sauce the better!

Have you ever noticed that most people eat pizza on Fridays? They usually take out the phone and call some major pizza chain and it makes a HUGE dent in your pocket. Not cheap, not good. 

I love to make extra sauce to freeze - makes pizza making a breeze. 

Organic pizza sauce in a jar can be a little pricey. Have you ever looked at the ingredients in a non-organic jar of pizza sauce? Man, those ingredients are scary. Very scary. Have no idea what the heck they are, but I am putting them into my body. No thanks. :) Sorry, rant. 

Ingredients
  • 1, 15 oz can of tomato sauce (organic preferred, if you can)
  • 4, 6oz cans of tomato paste (organic preferred, if you can)
  • 1 cup of water
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 3 tbsp EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
  • 1 tbsp raw honey
  • 1/3 cup of fresh basil, chopped
  • 3 tbsp Italian seasoning



Directions

  1. Toss everything into the crock pot.
  2. Mix everything together and cook for 4 hours. 
  3. Stir occasionally. 
When my Husband came home yesterday, he immediately went to the crock pot and said that looks amazing. Of course, he had to taste it. Like always... :)

Easy, right? If you want you can freeze the rest in individual bags.
