Tomato Bacon Pasta Sauce

Tomato Bacon Pasta Sauce is one of my favourites! And it's so simple to make and freezes well to make quick weeknight meals even easier! It also makes a ROCKING PIZZA SAUCE so try some leftovers on your next homemade pizza. You can halve the recipe because this is a big batch of sauce, but I don't suggest it!
