Dice onions and garlic.  Sauté beef and sausage.  When starting to

turn color, add the onion and garlic and sauté till meat is brown.

Add the rest of the ingredients; simmer for a couple of hours. If the

beef is real cheap and tough, longer simmer for tender.  If you used

good stuff a couple of hours to let the flavors blend will do it.
