Stir occasionally to break up tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Note: (The seasonings I change every week, one week it will be 1/2 tsp. to 1 tsp. of garlic powder, 1/4 tsp. each dried basil and oregano (rubbed between palms) black pepper to taste, next week I might have 1/2 tsp. each white pepper, dried basil, thyme, 1 tsp. garlic powder, onion powder.
