Notes
TO MAKE THIS A KETO VERSION:
- Replace the 1 Tbsp sugar with 1 Tbsp Monk Fruit or Swerve.
- Use sugar-free canned tomato sauce and diced tomatoes. Regular canned tomatoes has 2 grams sugar and diced tomatoes has 4 grams sugar. That is 6 grams of sugar spread out into 8 servings. If that is okay in your Keto plan, then go ahead with regular canned tomato sauce and diced tomatoes.
