Both the FDA and food scientists would warn to throw it out.
There are a lot of factors involved: acidity, temperature of the sauce at the time of discovery this morning, amount of meat, and of course your personal threshold of risk tolerance.
Have you ever had food poisoning? I have and it's not pleasant.
Ultimately it will be your call. That said, if you intend to serve this to guests, you should ponder your decision carefully especially if your dinner table includes children, elderly and/or pregnant guests. Remember that you are making a decision that affects the well-being of everyone joining you tonight.
