Did not and won't try this one...what is the point of "homemade sauce" if u have to add store bought sauce.

[anidifrancofan]

didnt like the fact it called for prego, and without the prego its awfully bland.

This was easy to make as I ran the tomatoes through my Kitchenaid Mixer to get the peels and seeds off. I put the extra sauce in the freezer as I just did not feel like canning tonight. Thanks for sharing
