Ragu Influencer Program Reviews, Part I

Cafemom, a social networking site for mothers, recently partnered with Ragu to have an Influencers Program, and I was one of the members selected. Basically, they sent us each a large supply of Ragu sauces and a list of recipes, and then asked us to try out the recipes, making whatever changes we wanted, and to share the results. Here is the first of my Ragu Experiences,

Easy Ragu Meat Sauce.


For my first recipe test as part of the Ragu influencers program i made my own version of their Mama's Easy Meat Sauce. This is a recipe that I make often, as my family really loves spaghetti! No matter what sauce I start with, I always add extra garlic and a little worcestershire sauce, as I love the how it makes meat sauces and gravies extra rich and "beefy".

1 tsp olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

1 pound ground beef

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp worcestershire sauce

One 1 lb 10 oz jar Ragu Old World Style traditional sauce

1 lb spaghetti or other pasta, cooked

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and saute one minute.


Add ground beef to pan and cook until beef is no longer pink and onions are translucent. Drain well.



Add garlic and worcestershire sauce and stir. Then add Ragu sauce, stir, turn heat to low, cover and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes while you cook your spaghetti.


Serve sauce over spaghetti and enjoy!


My family loved it. Here is the proof, lol.
