Directions:
In a large deep pot wilt onions in olive oil. Add sausage meat and begin to brown. Add chopped ground beef and brown everything well. When meat is sufficiently brown skim off excess fat. Add black pepper, tomato paste, garlic, cumin, chili powder, Dijon Mustard, salt, basil, oregano, and stir well. Add the drained plum tomatoes, bourgundy, lemon juice, dill, parsley, and kidney beans. Stir gently and simmer for about 20 minutes more. Before serving stir in pitted black olives. Keep nice and hot. Optional garnish - Sour cream, onions, red peppers and/or cheese.

Serve with a good dark mexican beer and a side salad; sourdough bread or corn bread are also great with this.
