Jenny's Pasta Sauce

My daughter, Jenny, hates spaghetti. It goes back to a childhood... ummm... incident that we won't go into right now, ok???
Anyway, her husband and sons love spaghetti so she had to compromise. According to her, as long as there's a lot of "stuff" in the sauce she can somehow manage to eat it. Although the ingredients vary (she is her mothers daughter you know) this is the basic recipe:

Jenny's Pasta Sauce

1 jar spaghetti sauce
1 lb ground beef or bulk Italian Sausage or 1/2 lb of each
1 medium onion chopped
1 medium pepper (color doesn't matter) seeded and chopped
2 or 3 stalks celery, chopped
1 small zucchini or yellow squash halved and sliced
1 small can mushrooms or equivilent fresh
1 or 2 small cloves of garlic, chopped
1 can stewed tomatoes

Saute onions, garlic, pepper and celery until onions are almost clear, brown meat, add squash, mushrooms, stewed tomatoes and jar of spaghetti sauce. Sometimes she doubles or even triples the recipe and freezes it. This way it's ready whenever the family wants spaghetti.

She tells me my youngest grandson picks out the squash so sometimes she chops it up very small so he won't know whats in there. She also sometimes uses mashed up cooked carrots to add an extra shot of veggies to it. She says she just uses whatever she has at the time so like many of my recipes this one can be very flexible. (She also says she doesn't use celery but I like it so I'm leaving it in there)
