Jade's modifications:
I use 1lb ground beef and 1lb sausage instead of 2lb sausage. I also sprinkle in a little Italian seasoning and greek seasoning, add a couple of bay leaves, and some mushrooms. I also add extra water, and simmer it longer than it calls for (a few hours). It fills the house with a wonderful aroma!
