I chose this recipe for Kittencalskitchen forum tag game, I love homemade pizza sauce and this one is a winner, I added in seasoning salt and black pepper, we like very spicy so I also added in cayenne pepper, this will be used for my French bread pizza loaf recipe, thanks Bee!

I loved this sauce!!! So simple and quick and I always save leftover bacon drippings so had everything on hand. I made a homemade pizza dough a month or so ago and it made enough for two pizzas so I froze the one part and used this for today. I just topped with cheese and onions, so the sauce really shined on this pizza. Thanks for sharing this great recipe. Made for 123 Tag Game.

This sauce is really good. Instead of garlic salt, I used 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. I used vegetable juice instead of tomato juice. Next time I'd be curious to try with fresh herbs. Thanks Pink :) Made for 123 hit wonders

Pizza sauce with bacon grease in it was a new idea to me but it tastes really good! Liked the flavor of this and will make it again. Made for Newest Zaar Tag.

I've never made a pizza sauce with bacon grease in it, but this added a wonderful smokey flavor to the sauce.....I used applewood smoked bacon. Since I used bacon in the pizza sauce, I also added the bacon to the pizza. Great combination! Thanks for sharing your great recipe.
