Cheater Bolognese Sauce
Sometimes dinner just needs to feel like Sunday sauce — but you’ve got a weeknight schedule and zero time for an all-day simmer. Enter my Cheater Bolognese: a rich, savory, macro-balanced comfort meal that comes together in about 30 minutes thanks to a little Trader Joe’s magic. The hero? Trader Joe’s Mirepoix Mix.
