Enhanced Spaghetti Sauce
For those of us who are on the go and do not have the time for real home made italian spaghetti sauce,
here are some ideas to spruce up that store bought stuff:
1. add mushrooms and largely chopped onion to bring out the flavor in the meat.  Mix them in the
    meat while its browning.
2. fresh tomatoes, also chopped in large pieces to be added to the sauce while it is warming up.

Other add ins for sauce:  green or red bell pepper, zucchini, or squash.
