here are some of my favorite recipes to make using canned tomatoes!
party mac. diced tomatoes and THREE kinds of cheese. yes, please.
huevos rancheros and ranchero sauce. oh, man, i gotta make that again soon! that ranchero sauce goes on everything. well, maybe not ice cream, but you know what i mean.
lightened up lasagna. because lasagna doesn’t have to be a diet deal-breaker.
chicken parmesan. yeah, another italian dish. i think we use canned tomatoes in every italian-themed dish in our house. it’s super simple to make your own marinara using canned tomatoes!
taco soup. this is a good way to use the diced tomatoes with green chilies—always a fun kick in mexican dishes!
slow cooker vegetable beef stew. perfect for the colder months!
sweet potato shepherd’s pie. this one uses tomato sauce and is the epitome of healthy comfort food.

Hi Janetha! Thanks for hosting such an awesome giveaway. Most of my tomatoes lately have been used in my crock pot– of course! I’ve been making lots of soups and chillis that I use diced tomatoes for. Also, because it is football season, I LOVE making cheesy, spicy dips too! :)
Have a great day.
Turkey chili- sloppy joes! I add cinnamon for a little bit of warmth, and am considering maybe a little pumpkin for added creamy-sweet note. So. Good.
canned tomatoes for pasta sauce with whatever veggies I have and of course garlic!
I use canned tomatoes in a shortcut for making tomato sauce. :)
Canned tomatoes most often find their way into chili or soup in my house.
One of my favorite ways to use canned tomatoes is in my chicken and sausage gumbo. Yum!
I always have canned tomatoes on hand for marinara, soup, chili, salsa, enchilada sauce, etc. Love the Muir Glen fire roasted tomatoes!
I use them in making Chili. yum
Chili! I love Muir Glen products!
I’m so excited to make chili, my favorite way to use canned tomatoes!
Love Muir Glen! I use them for pizza!!!! Or crockpot tacos.
Love Muir Glen…I love canned tomato puree and I pour (!!!) it on steamed veggies and add spices and such…yummers!

I don’t think I’ve ever used canned tomatoes in a recipe, but if I had some I’d love to try your lightened up lasagna =)

Chili is where it’s at!
I’m definitely all for making soups, chills and pasta sauces. As a kid, my dad would always throw a can of tomatoes in with the jarred sauce for spaghetti to make it feel a little less “canny” – see what I did there? ;)
Pizza sauce!
I love using Fire Roasted canned tomatoes in anything that calls for tomatoes. The fire roasted flavor is the best.
Oooh, pick me! I use canned tomatoes all the time to make homemade pasta sauce (with chopped veggies, butter and/or olive oil, and a little vino) but my favorite way to use canned tomatoes is probably Indian food. Chana malasa, etc.
I had no idea those brands were related either!! I like to use stewed tomatoes so make rustic pasta sauce. :)
i love eating canned tomatoes with a spoon!
chicken tikka masala in the slow cooker!
One of my favorite ways to use tomatoes is mixed with spinach, sausage, and eggs.
I use them all the time to make chili. So so good. Also, the fire roasted tomatoes are awesome for making Fire Roasted Salsa in a Cinch from the Peas and Thank You cookbook.
In tomato sauce for pasta!
