2 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes, crushed, and their juices
1 small can tomato paste
1 tablespoon sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
grated cheddar cheese, for garnish
Add in a mix of fresh hot peppers seeded, or unseeded if you wish. Leaving the seeds will increase the intensity of hot flavor. Wash hands thoroughly with soap after handling hot peppers!
