  • Brown the meat well: Browning the meat adds flavor and helps to develop the sauce. Be sure to brown the meat in batches so that it does not steam.
  • Use a good quality canned chili: Not all canned chili is created equal. Look for a chili that is made with high-quality ingredients and has a good flavor. You can also use your favorite homemade chili recipe.
  • Simmer the ragu for at least 1 hour: This allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the ragu, the better it will taste.
  • Serve the ragu over pasta, rice, or polenta: Ragu is a versatile dish that can be served over a variety of different dishes. Choose your favorite starchy side dish and enjoy!
