My grandma has been making this spaghetti sauce for years. Now I make it for my family and they love it. Better than a store brand any day!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

As this old-fashioned spaghetti sauce simmers on your stove all day it will make your house smell amazing. This sauce is thick and full of meat. Fresh onions and bell peppers cook down to almost nothing but add so much flavor. There's just enough Italian seasoning added to the sauce. We chose to use one spicy sausage and one regular Italian sausage and loved the flavor. The recipe makes a huge pot of sauce so it's a perfect family dinner.
