Ingredients
2
tablespoons
olive oil
1 1/2
cups
diced yellow onion
3
tablespoons
fresh minced garlic
6
cups (two 28-ounce cans)
canned crushed tomatoes
2 1/2
teaspoons
dried basil
2
teaspoons
granulated onion
1
teaspoon
salt
(more or less depending on how much salt is in tomatoes)
1
teaspoon
turbinado sugar
optional
1/2
teaspoon
dried oregano
Instructions
In a large, wide-bottom pot, sauté onion in oil over low to medium heat until onions begin to brown.
Add garlic and sauté for 2 more minutes.
Stir in tomatoes and seasonings.
Cook for 5 to 45 minutes at a slow simmer. Longer simmering time will thicken the sauce and give it a deeper flavor, but the sauce is still delicious even if only simmered for a few minutes.
