Homemade Crock Pot Pizza Sauce

Well, I know y’all love pizza. No, I don’t have ESP……every time I ask on Facebook on Friday what y’all are eating, about 80% of you say pizza. Is Friday National Pizza Day and someone forgot to tell me?

Anyway, we love pizza too……but I checked out the label on the pizza sauce at the store – and then I put it back on the shelf. I’ll spare you what’s in it. It’s not pretty.

So, I decided to make some myself to put in the freezer to have whenever we wanted pizza…..and it was EASY! I thought to myself: “Self, why not do this in the crock pot?” So, self did it in the crock pot.

I bought some organic tomato paste just for this very occasion. Then I realized I needed tomato sauce too. Oops. I’ll go organic with that next time. Because as we all know, pizza should be taken very seriously.

You’ll need tomato paste, tomato sauce, water, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, olive oil, honey, grated parmesan, salt, and pepper. Everything is better with salt. It’s true.

In your crock pot mix together everything except the parmesan cheese…..it’s our last step. I used a whisk of course. I’m pretty attached to it. It should just stay out on the counter since I use it so much. It needs its own spot at the table.

Cover and cook on low for about 4 hours. It’s going to really let the flavors mingle. I just like saying “let the flavors mingle.” It makes me feel so Food Networkish.

Every thirty minutes you’re going to want to stir it…..or it will stick. Or so I hear from OTHER PEOPLE. I have this fear of food sticking to my pans. Maybe because it happens so often.

You really don’t have to stir it every 30 minutes….you could stir it ever 45 or every hour….just stir it. Or else there will be stickage. FYI – stickage is not a work. Spell check says so.

When your four hours are over, turn off the crock and add the cheese. Cheese just makes everything better. Amen.

Look how beautiful! And it’s soooooooooooooooo good! Let the sauce cool until it’s room temp. Never put hot food in your fridge OR freezer. It causes upset in there….and that’s a no-no. I let mine sit out for about 1 hour. I transferred it to another bowl to help it cool down.

When it was cooled down, I packaged it into smaller bags. I put a scant cup in each bag and ended up with 5 bags. That’s enough to do about 5 pizzas…..more if you like less sauce (I’m a less sauce kind of girl). I put all these bags down into a bread bag for storing in the freezer. Now you have pizza sauce when you’re ready to make pizza.Crock on!

Crock Pot Pizza Sauce

  • 4, 6oz cans tomato paste (organic preferred)
  • 1, 15oz can tomato sauce (organic preferred)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
  1. Combine all ingredients except cheese in crock pot.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.
  3. Stir every 30 minutes to 1 hour so it won’t stick.
  4. After four hours, stir in cheese.
  5. Cool to room temperature and package for freezing or use in 1-2 days.

      🙂 I’m definitely not a REAL Italian. But I don’t claim to be one. This sauce is a pretty awesome American version!

      Thanks for the comment! Organic tomato sauce and tomato paste are both real food ingredients and much less processed than a jar of store-bought pizza sauce. You could use fresh tomatoes if you would like, but to achieve that thick, rich tomato flavor (like you find in a can of organic tomato paste), it would probably take close to 4 cups of fresh tomatoes. — Julie, HH Team

    Sounds good. One caveat, if you decide to can it, leave out the Parmesean cheese. Home canning with any dairy is a no-no.

    The recipe looks good, and I’d like to try it. However, my crockpot has the Hour settings: 4, 6, 8, and 10. My instinct is to use the 4 hour setting, but it’s also categorized as High and seeing as you say Low what would you recommend?

      I’m scared of the high setting. LOL 🙂 Try 6 and see…you might need to stir it a few times.

    Recipes looks great. Love the idea of making it in large quantities and freezing it for later. I normally use this recipe. http://goo.gl/O9r2EW. I find it a bit quicker. Thanks for posting.

    Could this be canned and put in the pantry? or should it be frozen until used?

    I just found your website. I am still in the beginning stages of transitioning to whole real foods. Do you use grated parmesan cheese from a can or fresh parmesan cheese an grate it yourself? Thanks!

    On the same isle of the store as the Reynolds baking bags, they have Reynold’s crock pot liner bags. They are SO worth every penny. NOTHING sticks to my crock pot anymore. Put leftovers in fridge, toss the bag and wipe crock pot down and store…

    Does the honey make it really sweet? not much of a sweet pizza sauce fan

      Hmmmm. I”m not sure how to answer that – because I do like sweet. I might be biased. 🙂 You could try a batch since it only makes 4 cups and see? Maybe cut the honey down to half?

        My family is Italian…I was always taught when you make a tomato sauce it needs a sugar to help the tomato taste be less bitter. Then salt to flavor.

    Love this! I have been thinking about making my own because we never use a whole jar before it starts to grow. (no, I have not read my jar) I hate wasting it! I love that this will be far healthier than the “jar”! I might put mine in ice cubes because we really use very little, then I can get out just what I need. Thanks again for your post!!!
