Tomato Sauce For Chicago Style Pizza Food

THE BEST HOMEMADE CHICAGO PIZZA SAUCE EVER!

Steps:

• 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!

TOMATO SAUCE FOR CHICAGO STYLE PIZZA

Steps:

• Place the tomatoes, including the juice from the cans, into a large stockpot.
• Crush the tomatoes using the back of a large spoon, or just squish them with your hand.
• Stir in the oregano and salt. Simmer the tomatoes, uncovered, over medium-low heat until the sauce is thick and all the liquid has evaporated, about 50 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and let cool. Stir in the garlic and basil.
• Add the red pepper flakes, if desired.
• Use immediately, or refrigerate in a tightly covered container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
• Bring to room temperature before using.

RIDICULOUSLY EASY CHICAGO-STYLE PIZZA PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Bake the pie crust according to your package's directions. I usually prick the bottom and sides of the crust all over with a fork and bake it for 10 minutes, or until it becomes slightly golden. Remove, and set aside.
• Brown the sausage for about 5 minutes in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and mushrooms and cook for a further 5 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked and the onions are soft and translucent. Drain of any excess fat. (You can add salt & pepper at this point depending on how salty/spicy your sausage is- I usually don't).
• Sprinkle the mozzarella and parmesan on the bottom of your pie crust. Top the cheese with the sausage mixture, and spread it out evenly. Next, spread the pizza sauce over the top, making sure the filling is completely covered. Finally, you can sprinkle the Italian seasoning and grated cheese on top, if you wish.
• Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
