Freezer Spaghetti or Pizza Sauce is Keto, Low Carb, Paleo, Whole 30, Gluten Free and Dairy Free! It is great for meal prep; Freeze or Can!
I use this recipe for Freezer Spaghetti or Pizza Sauce for spaghetti or pizza. It is great for either!
What to use Freezer Spaghetti or Pizza Sauce for:
It is easy to dump in a pot, enjoy the smell of meat and tomatoes and garlic in the house for a couple of hours and then pour over traditional noodles or a low carb and gluten free option of zoodles or even french cut string beans.
Quinoa is a nutritious, gluten free option. We have done all of those at our house.
Other low carb options I have tried are Palmini Linguine (found in Walmart in the gluten free section) and Shirataki Spaghetti (found in Walmart in the fresh vegetable section). Both were good. I liked the Palmini better. Both needed a good rinse and good boil to make them softer. The shirataki did tend to be rubbery (in my opinion; many like them). I will buy the Palmini again and keep them on hand. Here the sauce is pictured over Palmini.

We also use this as a pizza sauce for Low Carb Crustless Pizza, or spaghetti sauce for Low Carb Parmesan Meatballs, or Low Carb Stuffed Peppers.
It freezes perfectly and is so nice to pull out for a quick, easy, delicious family meal later.
Notes:
If you want a smaller batch to cook in the crock pot, Try Crock Pot Spaghetti or Pizza Sauce.
This recipe makes a lot. It is hard to judge a serving since it could be used so many different ways.
Diced tomatoes and tomato sauce measurements do not need to be exact, just have about twice as many diced as sauce. Sometimes I use the big 105 oz. can from Sam’s Club for the sauce and sometimes three 28 oz. cans; whatever I have on hand.
A Shortcut:
This is an optional step but if you plan to make this often, it saves time when you make it again. As I measure out the seasonings for my pot, I also add the same to a small container. The next time I already have over half of the ingredients measured and ready to dump in the pot!

Note: I revised this recipe on 5/4/19 and changed the petite diced tomatoes to crushed tomatoes. I have used them the last few times and it makes a thicker sauce that way and less watery; just better.
Ingredients:
ground beef, cooked
onions, chopped finely
tomato sauce
crushed tomatoes
olive oli
minced garlic
pepper
salt
thyme
parsley
oregano
basil leaves
paprika
Directions:
Cook and drain ground beef.
Dump everything in the pot. I already had my meat cooked so it was ready to go.
Bring to a simmer over medium high heat.
Continue to let it gently simmer on very low heat for a couple of hours.
Stir now and then.
Package up leftovers for the freezer. I put some in larger containers that will be good for a family
meal later and also some smaller ones for pizza sauce. These are wonderful to have ready to go in
the freezer!
It can also be pressure canned; process pints 1 hour and quarts 1 hour, 15 minutes at 10
pounds pressure.
