Surely you have better pizza available than Little Sneezers. Even chain
places like Dominos (who have upped their game considerably) and Papa
John's. Or a local joint that delivers.
We've even got gas station pizza (no puns intended) that's better than
average. In fact it's surprisingly good. The nearest to you Casey's gas
convenience store location is in Malfunction Junction (Knoxville).
3/4 c Chopped onion
1/2 c Chopped bell pepper
2 cl Garlic; minced
1 tb Olive oil
14 1/2 oz Can diced tomatoes
8 oz Can tomato sauce *
1 Turkish bay leaf
1 tb Snipped fresh basil
+=OR=+
1 ts Dried basil; crushed
1 tb Snipped fresh oregano
+=OR=+
1 ts Dried oregano; crushed
1 ts Fennel seed; crushed
1/2 ts Sugar (opt)
1/2 ts Red (cayenne) pepper
1/2 ts Chilli spice mix
* For a really zippy sauce use El Pato tomato sauce,
available in the Latino aisle of many markets.
Cook onion garlic and bell pepper in oil. Stir in
remaining ingredients. Bring to boiling. Reduce heat;
simmer, uncovered, for 35 to 40 minutes or to desired
consistency, stirring occasionally. Discard bay leaf.
Makes 2 1/2 cups
