Spaghetti is always a family favorite and such an economical meal to put on the table so it’s nice to do variations of it so you can serve it frequently without anyone getting tired of it.

When I use ground sausage in my recipes, I always use Johnsonville Sausage. I love that you can buy it ground without the casings. You know as well as I do that it’s no fun to try and take sausage out of the casings.  🙂

Johnsonville Ground Sausage

Johnsonville Ground Italian Sausage comes in 3 flavors: Mild, Sweet, and Hot. Since the sausage is already seasoned, there’s no need to add much seasoning to your recipe. That can really help you put a quick weeknight meal on the table.

For this Southern Sausage Spaghetti Sauce any of the flavors of ground sausage is delicious, so it just depends on what kind of flavor you want. I typically use the Mild, but Hot is great for when you want a meal with a little heat.

This sauce freezes really well so you can make a double batch and freeze half of it.
