Here is the marinara:
1 giant can of diced tomatoes (102oz)
6 Tablespoons butter
2 medium to large size onions
~12 cloves garlic
2 red bell peppers
various seasonings to taste (I use an italian seasoning blend from Costco)
Peel the onions and chop in half. Smash and chop the garlic. Dice the bell peppers. Throw everything including the entire can of tomatoes in a stock pot and bring to a boil. Lower the heat a bit and let it cook. Occasionally stir and smash the tomatoes. I use a potato masher to smash them but you can do it with a spoon against the side of the pot. I generally leave it on the stove to reduce for at least 4 hours since I like the consistency best after that much time but you don't have to let it go nearly that long. This should make roughly 12 cups of marinara.
MACROS PER 1 CUP:
CALS 124
FAT 5.5
CARB 17
PRO 2.8
I think this sauce tastes way better than the jarred stuff and has way less sugar. You can get away with less butter if you want.
I add lean ground turkey from Costco.
