Dice, whole, or crushed canned tomatoes and sauces are fine to use in this recipe, I actually picked mine and roasted them in the oven everyone has this opinion

When your onions are done remove them from the Dutch oven and set aside.

As soon as the pots deglazed put all of your tomatoes and the cooked onion in.

Now it’s time to lower the temperature to just simmering and let the heat and time do its job. I cooked mine almost 4 hours.
