- 9
- Yields:
-
2 Large or One deep dish
- Serves:
- 2
ingredients
- 1 (32 ounce) can tomato puree (I like Walmart's or Contadina)
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon marjoram
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- salt (To taste)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
directions
- Stir all well. I use a whisk. Let sit for "a couple-two-tree" hours. What could be easier? You can use this for pasta sauce too with some meatballs and sausage. I put the raw meat in and gently simmer it for an hour or so. It gives the sauce a hearty flavor. You gotta try this one!

Hubby's family came from Chicago & when we visit it's a Tour de Food, Portillo's, Oberweis, & Lou Malnati's. This recipe is the closest I've tasted to a true Chicago style sauce, thick & rich & ON TOP. Made a gluten free crust, put down a thin layer of cheese, roasted peppers, onion, & garlic, mushrooms, black olives, & spinach, topped with remaining cheese with the final layer being a full batch of this sauce. Baked it, and when I pulled it out of the oven, I sprinkled it with a little Italian seasoning & parm. It looked just like an authentic Chicago pie. Tasted pretty close too! This sauce was SO easy, I love that it doesn't have to be cooked! Fabulous, thanks for posting!

We love pizza and this sauce is the bomb. It was great , thick and very flavorful. I made it exactly as written a lovely base for our mini pies. My granddaughter & I made pizzas together adding all of our favorite toppings to recipe #464352 for a very tasty pizza pie. Thank you for sharing this recipe, I will use it again, made for Fall Pac 2012.
