Brown 1 pound of mild brown pork sausage in a skillet for 3-5 minutes, breaking it up into little bits.

Remove the browned sausage from the skillet and drain the fat, reserving the drippings in a bowl.

In the same skillet, brown 1 pound of ground meat (beef, pork, and ve blend) for 3-5 minutes, stirring it around.

Drain the ground meat using the same colander as the pork sausage, reserving the drippings.

In the skillet, add the reserved drippings and heat on medium.

Add 1/3 of an onion and 1/3 of a bell pepper to the skillet and lightly soften them.

Add 1.5 teaspoons of ground cumin and 0.5 tablespoons of chili powder to the vegetables and let the heat activate the spices.

Turn off the heat and transfer the mixture to a preheated slow cooker set on low.

Add 1/3 cup of water, diced tomatoes with chili peppers, the softened vegetables, and 2 tablespoons of tomato paste to the slow cooker.

Mix everything together in the slow cooker, adding drippings if it looks dry.

Generously salt the mixture with Redmond salt and stir well.

Cover the slow cooker and let it cook for 6-8 hours on low.
