pizza fondue

In a pot heat 2 - 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes, 1 tbs or more Italian seasoning, 1 tsp dried fennel (this gives it the pizza sauce flavor), 1 garlic clove minced, 1 tbsp dried onions, salt and pepper to taste.

Add favorite pizza toppings -1 c. diced pepperoni, bacon, ground beef Canadian bacon and pineapple, or bell peppers etc. let simmer 5-10 min or longer-the longer the better.

While mixture simmers, toast and cut up bread into "dipping sticks" about 1 1/2'' with the length of the bread. It is a great way to use up bread that needs to be eaten. or use bread sticks, or foccacia.

Just before serving add 1 cup grated mozzarella stir till melted.

To serve-the idea of fondue is to dip out of the same pot, but it is easier to just pour the sauce into your separate bowls. Also if everyone wants different toppings keep them aside so they can add their own to their own bowls.
