Paleo Spaghetti

This dish is thanks to Rachel and Jr.  They brought me a sample of their dinner and it was delicious.  I made it the very next night with just a few modifications.  My family loved it!  I found a way to sneak lots of veggies in without anyone noticing.  If someone is afraid of vegetables, don't let them see you make this because it will freak them out.  But, I promise they won't be able to tell what's in there . . . the secret's in the sauce.  =) It makes a lot so we were able to eat it for several meals which is always a plus, especially since this dish is better the next day.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef
1 onion, diced
1 can diced tomatoes
1 jar tomato sauce  (Be sure to check ingredients to look for hidden sugars and soy.  I use Bobby D's Ma's Angry Sauce from Whole Foods, it's yum and 100% paleo)
1 pkg cauliflower
1 pkg broccoli
3 carrots
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Tbsp Dried Basil (more or less to your taste)
2 Tbsp Dried Oregano (more or less to your taste)
6-8 zucchini squash

• Brown the ground beef in skillet.  Add onion and cook until onion is translucent.  Transfer to crock pot.

• Add tomato sauce and diced tomatoes to crock pot.  Stir in spices.

• In a food processor, process the cauliflower, broccoli and carrots until they are ground into a fine meal.  Add to crock pot and stir well.

• Slice the zucchini with a *mandolin or repeatedly with vegetable peeler until you have 'noodles' or 'zoodles' as we call them.

• Add the 'zoodles' 2 hours before you're ready to eat and stir well

• Cook on low 5-6 hours (longer won't hurt, you'll just need to add a little more liquid)

*If you don't have a mandolin, you should get one.  They're very inexpensive and allow for so much variety with vegetable prep, it's well worth the $15 - http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=mandolin&x=0&y=0#/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=mandolin+slicer&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amandolin+slicer
