Today's recipe is a money saver and is so delicious! 

Have you tried making your own pizza sauce before? If not, then this is the recipe you'll want to try.

It's so simple! It's made with canned, crushed tomatoes, garlic and some common pantry spices and seasonings. After simmering on the stove, this sauce ends up with the perfect texture and taste.

This recipe makes a pretty big batch, so we usually freeze the leftovers in small ziploc bags to use later. It's great for pizzas or dipping sauce for your favorite garlic bread or mozzarella sticks.
