Oven Roasted Beef Tomato Sauce is the best spaghetti sauce recipe. It’s easy to make with beef or heirloom tomatoes.
Have you guys tried my Oven Roasted Creamy Cherry Tomato Sauce (or for a kick, Spicy Tomato Sauce)? How about my diced tomatoes? They’re all delicious. I promise you.
But sometimes you might not have a over abundance of cherry tomatoes. Sometimes your garden might be full of beef tomatoes. You can freeze tomatoes and here’s how, or you can make a simple and quick oven roasted tomato sauce with them!
The beef tomatoes are cut up into bite size pieces, a little olive oil is poured on then a little onion powder is sprinkled on top. At this time the good smells are about to start. Then they go into the oven for 35 minutes. Now the good smells are really starting to happen. I dare you not to get hungry after smelling this Oven Roasted Beef Tomato Sauce in the oven. It won’t happen, you’ll immediately want to eat it, trust me.
What can you do with this sauce? Anything! Pour it on some pasta. Bake some lasagna. Use it in a stew. Eat it by the spoonful (hey, it happens, and it should!).
Enjoy this Oven Roasted Beef Tomato Sauce! It’s a garden favorite!
Enjoy!

The light in these photos is gorgeous Pamela. Ah, tomatoes are definitely some of the most beautiful things in the world (both from a visual and flavour point of view!). I’ve never eaten a beef tomato but they look amazingly flavourful. I can imagine the quality of that sauce.. yum!

I bet the beef adds a real warm flavour to your sauce, which looks rich and indulgent 😀

Love this, Pamela! Chunky tomato sauce is my favorite!
Lindsey @ American Heritage Cooking says
I want to make homemade pasta sauce with fresh tomatoes so badly! I tried one time with roma tomatoes but it was terrible – probably because the tomatoes were terrible to begin with. Your tomatoes look perfect! I just want to eat this with a spoon! No pasta necessary for this tomato sauce addict!

I always think of beefsteak tomatoes as being too watery for sauce, but this is brilliant. The perfect way to use them for sauce. Such lovely photos too.
Debra says
Yes, yes, yes! This is the best way for any type of tomatoes that you might have an over-abundance of ! Excellent sauce and the easiest way to can tomatoes (in my opinion). I’m hoping to post a version soon, too.

Hehe – I totally thought you meant “tomato sauce with beef.” Doh – I’m an idiot! Jealous of your overflowing tomatoes! We can’t seem to keep the raccoons away from out tomatoes 🙁
This sauce looks delicious and hearty!
