1 lb ground meat (I use turkey or chicken)

1 small zucchini, minced (about 1 cup)

2 carrots, minced (about 1 cup)

2 stems of celery, minced (about 1 cup)

1.5 cups mushrooms, minced

1 onion, minced (about ½ cup)

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 cans spaghetti sauce

1 can crushed tomatoes

1 Tbsp hot sauce (or to taste)

1. Fry the ground meat. While the meat is cooking, you can mince the vegetables in the food processor. Transfer the meat to a large pot.
2. Using the same pan, sauté the vegetables until a little soft, and then add to the meat in the pot.
3. Add the sauce, tomatoes and hot sauce. Simmer until ready to eat (or you can transfer to a crock pot). This freezes very well.
