MUELLER'S TOMATO SAUCE
(recipe from box around 1980)

3/4 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic mashed
3 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil
2 cans (1 lb each) tomatoes
2 cans (6 ounces each) tomato paste
1 cup water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 bay leaf

In a large heavy pan cook onion and garlic in oil until crisp-tender but not brown.

Put tomatoes through blender or cut with edge of spoon. Add tomatoes and remaining ingredients to onion and garlic. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour. Remove bay leaf.

Makes about 5 cups, or 4 to 8 servings

I'm pretty sure I got this off the Mueller's box many many years ago.
