About Meat sauce

Meat sauce is a cooked sauce containing meat. The catalogue treats it as a variable class: the type of meat and seasonings differ by recipe, and no fixed set of ingredients or style is specified.

It is encountered as a sauce in prepared food, with consistency, appearance, and flavour depending on the meat, cooking method, and other ingredients. The name does not identify a particular cuisine, meat species, or formulation, so a specific recipe should not be inferred.
