How to Make Garden Tomato Sauce

  1. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, in 2 tablespoons olive oil until softened (about 5 minutes).
  2. Add 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir well.
  3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened and most of the liquid has evaporated (approximately 30-40 minutes).
  4. Stir in 1 green bell pepper, chopped. Continue to simmer until the sauce reaches your desired consistency (about 5-10 minutes).
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve over your favorite meat dishes and enjoy!
