Carmelized onion sounds interesting.  I've found that cheddar works best 
with a strongly flavored meat, bacon, Italian sausage, something like that.

The particular Ragu goop I was thinking of is Ragu Alfredo sauce, which a 
friend who shall remain nameless got a deal on a few years ago and dropped 
on me two hours before feast to produce pasta for 100+ for a King's College 
a few years ago.  The experience did not enamour me of Ragu.
