Growing up, I remember goulash being on the table almost every week. It was a family favorite, and mom probably served it because it was inexpensive, filling, and had a lot of flavor. I love the fresh taste of tomatoes, mushrooms, and other ingredients but don’t always have fresh on hand, so I figured out a way to get the next best thing (and truly, it tastes just as good as moms). Making it with Ragu Homestyle Sauces creates flavors just like using fresh from the garden ingredients.

The fresh flavors and texture of the Ragu Homestyle Sauce make it taste deliciously homemade; it is bolder and thicker than traditional sauces with peeled, chopped, and simmered fresh ingredients and that made from scratch taste. Sometimes I avoid jar sauces because of all the additives and other unnecessary ingredients, but Ragu Homestyle Sauce has no artificial colors, flavors, or high fructose corn syrup, so I feel good about serving it to my family.
