• 2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic (or to taste)
• 1 large green bell pepper, seeded and chopped

1. In a large Dutch oven or pot brown the ground beef with onion, garlic, bell pepper, jalapeno pepper and Cajun seasoning over medium heat, breaking up with a spoon to crumble the meat.
2. Cook until the meat is browned; remove the mixture to a bowl and drain fat.
3. To the pot add in the sausage and brown, then return the cooked ground beef mixture back to the pot.
4. Add in the tomato soup, diced tomatoes with juice, undrained pinto beans and undrained pork and beans; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for about 1 to 1-1/2 hours (the longer this is cooked the richer and thicker it will be!
