Combine sausage meat, ground beef, onions and garlic in skillet and brown.

Place all ingredients in slow cooker and cook on low - medium for 6 - 8 hours, stirring and tasting occasionally. As the flavours meld you may want to add more hot sauce and/or cayenne pepper to suit your tast.

My wife doesn''t like food as spicy as I do so we try to come to a happy medium as it is cooked.

* I use the same type of hot pepper rings you normally get for your sausage on a bun at varous street venders.
