Southern Sausage Spaghetti Sauce is thick and full of ground Italian sausage with plenty of tomato flavor. It’s basically a sausage version of this Southern Spaghetti Sauce recipe which is one of the most popular recipes on Spicy Southern Kitchen. I love the extra flavor that sausage gives this sauce.
