I was so excited when the Ragu brand joined with Crowdtap. It is my favorite sauce brand, ever since I was young. My dad always bought it, and I continued when I moved out on my own. I'm a huge mushroom fan, so i love the chunky mushroom variety. My kids are big veggie eaters, so any of the garden variety always go over well (though my kids practically drink pasta sauce! They will eat it in practically any variety. My seven year old was particularly excited to try the meat kind on our last shopping trip). This crowd tap challenge was to make a dish featuring Ragu. We did a pretty basic American chop suey. I browned the hamburger, added the sauce (chunky mushroom, of course!) til it was heated, then mixed it into a pan of cooked elbow pasta. All of my kids loved it, and the sauce really makes the dish, particularly in a dish like this. The sauce is not too thin (I HATE thin sauce-the very reason I can't buy the generic sauce at the grocery store!) and has plenty of nice mushroom pieces. It has a nice flavorful taste, not too bland like many generic/cheaper brands. At walmart, the price point is $1.69 for the small jars, which makes it very affordable, even for my family's tight budget. I definitely recommend Ragu sauce for all your pasta (or other suacey!) needs (side note: I made a pizza once with the mushroom sauce. Very good. It was amazing pizza!).
