Nutritional Spaghetti Sauce

Submitted by Llamatron

"Sneak in super duper awesome vegetables without the kids or hubby knowing. Hee hee! The hamburger can substituted by other ground meats or about 48 ounces of beans or omitted altogether. To make this recipe super duper nutritious, add 1/4 cup of Nutritious Food Enhancer, which is another recipe of mine. Add it right before the sauce is served, so that the raw goodness doesn't get cooked!"
