This was delicious! Very easy to make with ingredients I usually have on-hand. I did use dry spices, which is what I typically put in my own spaghetti sauce. The addition of the Italian sausage was new to me, and my kids really loved it that way! This recips makes a LOT and is wonderful for freezing. Thanks for sharing, Chelle!
