Shred and Freeze Cheese

It’s usually cheaper to buy cheese in blocks than in shredded form. So I purchase large quantities of cheddar, Monterey Jack and mozzarella, then shred them myself in my food processor. I store the shredded cheese in the freezer in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags, so I have it at my fingertips whenever it’s needed. —Evelyn O., Parma, Ohio

Excellent sauce!!! I used fresh garden tomatoes and this pizza tasted like we ordered it from a restaurant!

Very yummy. My husband and I both enjoyed. We used the pizza dough balls from the store instead of the tube dough. The sauce was a little time consuming, but worth it for the wonderful flavor and it made extra for next time!
