Ragu rabusto has good flavor

Cheapest stuff in a can. Adding a pound of my venison itallian sausage.

If you are adding meat you can go cheap.

When I was in college I would get a big can of Hunts spaghetti sauce and some angel hair pasta. For maybe $1.50 I could get a lot of meals out of that. Hunts actually isn't bad either. I think it's $0.98 a can at Walmart.

Cooks Illustrated rated Barilla and Classico the best of the less expensive brands. I like Rao's a lot, but it's around $10 a jar, at least at Meijer. San Marzano makes a great one too and much less expensive.

Yes I do miss Grandma's pasta sauce, she grew the tomatoes in her backyard garden and made homemade pasta on the kitchen table? The best I have found is Francesco Rinaldi, comes in several varieties.

MIDS

MIDS Italian Sausage is the only thing we buy. It's excellant and you don't have to add any meat to it because it's good to go from the bottle. I find it on sale at Marsh at least once a month and many times with a $1 off coupon.

Newman's Own Sockarooni Sauce

​

"Peppers, Spices, and the Whole Shebang!"
It has actual chunks of peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Yum! Walmart's everyday price is $1.88. That is better than the sale price at other stores.

I usually buy the Hunt's, but that's just cuz I'm cheap. I do, however, brown up some Italian sausage, pour the sauce over, add a drained can of garlic and onion flavored diced tomatoes, a tablespoon or two of Italian seasoning, and two to three teaspoons of sugar and garlic powder. It's all pretty much dump and stir, and doesn't take longer than the time it takes to cook your noodles.

Wouldn't feed Ragu brand sauce to a dog....enough salt in that stuff to kill a Rhino.

We use Prego chunky style and add mushrooms and garlic.

 

[Shelly1582]

We usually just throw a can of Red Gold tomato sauce and a seasoning packet to some hamburger and it's good to go. Quick and easy.

Another vote for Mid's. Yes it is a bit more expensive but well worth it.

I have it from a good source ( my lady, a genuine Italian) that Mid's is about the only sauce that is cooked down as a good sauce should be. The others can be made more like a good sauce if you cook it down and not just heat and eat. I must admit she taught me that a good cooked sauce is more flavorful.

This. Brown some Italian sausage and toss in pan with the Sockarooni. Then add 2 cans of tomato sauce, any style, and one can of tomato paste. Finish off with some chopped garlic, oregano, and sweet basil. Don't forget to let it all simmer a good hour if you want that real home taste. That way the flavors all meld together.

Kroger 6 cheese....

 

[You'll shoot your eye out]

Believe it or not, The cost-cutter generic Kroger brand sauce in cans is exellent! way better than the national brands like Preggo and the like

Agreed. I like it when they are 10 for $10 that's when I stock up.

Grandma still pumps out about 300 jars a year to supply my family (huge family). So we are lucky enough to still get the good stuff.

Surprisingly the Ragu Old World Style Traditional is one of the more authentic. As a base it can be modified in limitless ways.

My girlfriend likes the the three cheese Prego, so that's what we get. Other than that we love alfredo sauce and the best we've found is Classico
