1 lb. farmer Peete's sausage or your favorite
1 lb. very lean beef burger (buy the good stuff!)
1 lg. or 2 med. onions
1 lg. yellow chili pepper (the red ones are best)
1 pkg. Ortega taco seasoning mix (hot)
1/2 jar LaVictoria brand salsa picante (a must)
2 tbsp. Sarache chili sauce
2 tbsp. A-1 steak sauce
6 oz. good beer
Salt and pepper to taste
1/8 tsp. garlic powder or 1 crushed cloves
3/4 c. water
(If you're like me, 6-12 beers will be required to wash this stuff down with!)

In a LARGE fry pan, begin to brown sausages. When about 1/2 browned, drain or spoon grease off and add ground beef. Continue to brown until beef is nearly done, drain or spoon grease off again. Dice onions, add to meat and finish browning. Spoon off any remaining grease. Dice the chili pepper, and if you're brave, shake the seeds off the core and add to meat. Stir in package of taco seasoning, add 3/4 cup of water, salt, and pepper, garlic, and stir well. When beginning to simmer, add LaVictoria salsa, picante, Sarache, A-1 sauce and beer. Stir in good and bring to a slow simmer. Simmer uncovered over very low heat until thick enough to spoon into taco shell without running all over the place. (It's important to simmer AT LEAST an hour to allow all the ingredients to blend together harmoniously. There should be enough liquid to allow this, as I simmer mine about 90 minutes.)

When thick, spoon into your favorite holder (soft flour or corn tortillas, or hard shells). Garnish with your favorite ingredients (I prefer meat sauce and grated sharp cheddar cheese) like cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, etc. (The reason I add so much onion in the sauce is so I don't have to put any extra on my tacos.) Enjoy! Remember to have liquid refreshment close at hand!
