Above Average Joes Gather To Cook Up Tasty Sloppy Joes

Contributed by: NAPSA

(NAPSA) - Sloppy Joes can be a delicious experience-and there's more than one way to enjoy them.

Just ask the legends from the worlds of sports, comedy and reality TV who recently gathered in a Los Angeles living room to celebrate the one thing they have in common: they're all named Joe, and they're all sloppy, if only on TV.

Joe Frazier, Joe Theismann, Joe Piscopo and Evan Marriott (better known as "Joe Millionaire") were all on hand to shoot a commercial for Ragu Rich & Meaty Sauce.

This spot features these famous Joes hanging out in a disheveled house. Along comes a knock on the door from "Joe Millionaire" Evan Marriott, to which the other "real" Joes promptly shut the door.

The "Sloppy Joes" ad portrays a humorous situation based on the name of a popular recipe and is part of the larger "How Do You Ragu?" campaign, which highlights the wide variety of usages and occasions for the sauces.

The following recipes prove that when it comes to Joes, the sloppier the better:

Sloppy Joes

• 2 tsp. olive oil
• 1 cup chopped red bell pepper
• 1 jar (2 lbs.) Ragu Rich & Meaty Mama's or Beefy Mushroom Meat Sauce
• 2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh basil leaves or 1 tsp. dried basil leaves, crushed (optional)
• 6 soft Italian rolls or (6-in.) hero rolls, toasted
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 4 oz.)
