Answers:
When I use jar sauce, I use a variation of my spaghetti sauce - I add sweet and hot Italian sausage, beef smoked sausage and lean ground beef!. I brown the sausages and ground beef with some chopped onion, sliced mushrooms, garlic powder, salt, pepper and crushed Italian seasoning!. I heat it up the sauce, add the meat and them mix in some shredded Italian Blend cheese and simmer until it is melted!.

I hate to admit this but I use Rago Traditional spaghetti sauce and then add some ingredients of my own, chopped garlic, garlic salt, oregano!. My family loves it and no one knows that I've "doctored" the sauce!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I use certain jar spaghettis and add my own ingredients!. I love turkey sausage, bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, and extra oregano seasonings!.!. it turns out really good!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Use the Rago brand with some herbs like lemon pepper and garlic!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
