Preparation
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage together until browned, breaking it into small pieces.

Notes

Make Ahead: Prepare the meat mixture the day before and reheat. Get Creative: Substitute meats or add hot sauce. Don't Skip the Soup Mix: It's essential for flavor.
