Any kind: Tomato, Alfredo, peanut. Anything you could put on pasta, rice, or other carbs. Just want to know which brands are good.

I usually make sauces from scratch, but I’m trying to reduce my workload by having some store-bought meals. I don’t tend to care for sauce in a jar, but maybe you guys know some good ones.

    For broad availability you can’t go wrong with Rao’s tomato sauce. I just hope Campbell’s doesn’t mess them up.

    Great topic, I love reading the other responses too

    The Mia Cucina brand sauces are the only jarred tomato sauce allowed in our home. The one with wine mixed in is my preference, but I haven’t had one I disliked yet.

    I’m a fan of the Steve’s and Ed’s brand Buffalo sauce, though I’m not sure how it does poured over carbs.

    I like to stir fry noodles and dress them with hot pot seasoning and eel sauce, but maybe that’s some stoner food shit.

    Chili crisp! Goes great on everything. Umami, flavor, and texture bomb. Home made is best, but Fly By Jing is pretty good.

    Along similar lines, Chinese god oil. Amazing with noodles, fish, and lots of other things. A cheater version is chili crisp mixed with black vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, green onion, and cilantro.
