  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. On the stovetop, heat a large oven-safe pan over medium heat. Add olive oil.
  3. Add onion and bell pepper, and saute for 5-6 minutes, until softened.
  4. Add garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, and chili powder. Stir.
  5. Add the whole peeled tomatoes to the pan, breaking them up a bit with the back of a wooden spoon. Simmer for 4-5 minutes. As tomatoes soften, continue breaking them up with your spoon until you have mostly crushed tomatoes and small bite sized pieces remaining.
