DIRECTION

Start by browning the ground beef and sausage in a greased skillet until it's cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Drain any excess fat. Add the seasonings, chopped onions, garlic and peppers.
Sauté for another 3 minutes, add in tomato paste. Mix everything well and cook for about 1-2 more minutes, cooking the tomato paste helps to brighten the flavor before slow cooking.
Turn the slow cooker on high, add the chopped potatoes on the bottom followed by the browned meat mixture. Next, add all other ingredients and finish with broth at the end. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for about 6 hours.
After cooking is finished, check to ensure all veggies are tender and give it a taste to adjust if it needs more salt or more broth. If you are adding in any greens (optional!) add them in now, and let them wilt for a few minutes. Serve and enjoy warm.
Garnish. If you want, I like to garnish with fresh cracked pepper and a spritz of parmesan.
