Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crumbly but not yet cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add sausage, onion, and garlic; cook and stir until meat is no longer pink and onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain grease.
Step 2
Gather all ingredients.
Step 3
Transfer beef and sausage mixture to a large pot over medium-low heat. Add water, corn, pinto beans, diced tomatoes, diced tomatoes with chile peppers, and mixed vegetables. Stir in potatoes, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for a minimum of 1 hour; the longer it cooks, the better it gets.
