6 slices of bacon
1 - 28oz. can Italian style crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 tsp. white sugar
salt and pepper to your taste
oregano (only if necessary)
In a skillet over medium heat fry the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon and place it on paper towels to soak up any extra grease, but leave the bacon drippings in the skillet. To the bacon drippings add crushed tomatoes, water, white sugar, oregano, salt and pepper--stir until mixed. Turn heat back to simmer. Simmer the sauce for 20 minutes, then crumble the bacon and add the crumbled bacon to the sauce--stir. Turn heat back up to medium and cook/stir until hot. Serve over pasta.

In what circumstance would oregano be necessary? Please advise. Thank you.
Some cans of Italian style crushed tomatoes already have enough oregano in the can. If you use regular rather than Italian style crushed tomatoes, you'll probably need to add some oregano.
