DIRECTIONS
  1. In a large saute pan, heat the oil. Add the onion and cook until translucent. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant.
  2. Add the sausage and ground beef, crumbling and browning. Drain.
  3. Add the remaning ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
  4. Simmer covered (or uncovered, for a slightly thicker sauce) for an hour or longer.
  5. (After you have combined all the ingredients, you can use your crockpot to finish the sauce. I left it on low about 4 or 5 hours and it's delicious!)
