1 1/2 lb. lean hamburger
1 lb. mild sausage
3 large cans minestrone (Campbell's Homestyle works well)
2 16-oz. cans Ranch-Style beans
1 10-oz. can Ro-Tel tomatoes with chilies
1 16-oz. can Veg-All

Brown meats; drain. Stir in remaining ingredients along with water or tomato juice--enough to achieve desired thickness. May also add any other ingredients which seem compatible. Simmer to blend flavors.

Makes around four quarts, depending.
