A simmer sauce is a packaged sauce that is combined with a cook's choice of main ingredient to prepare a dish. It is a form of convenience food. The main ingredient, which may be a meat, a seafood, or a vegetable, is typically sautéed first, then the simmer sauce is added and simmered for about 15 minutes.
