Directions: |
Directions:Crumble and brown meats (I brown the ground beef first, drain it, and then brown the sausage and drain it)
Season the ground beef as you saute ( I use garlic salt, lawrys and pepper)
Saute onion and green pepper in pan while meats drain
Add mushrooms and saute
Add browned meat and pepperoni to pan and saute to 'cook' the pepperoni
Add garlic
Add remaining ingredients and simmer for at least a couple of hours (I like to cook the day before we have it; at least let it simmer for 1/2 day to blend the flavors) |
