Cook until beef and pork are done, and stirring and breaking up pork and beef into small crumbles while cooking. Drain grease if desired, but Kim likes to keep it in for great flavor. Add all remaining ingredients through salt and stir well. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Simmer until flavors blend/meld about 25 minutes. Enjoy immediately with toppings. Refrigerate leftovers in tightly covered container and enjoy (or freeze) within 3 days.
