- 1 small can of tomato paste

- 1 796 ml can of diced tomatoes

- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- 1 540 ml can of dark red kidney beans drained and rinsed

- chopped cilantro
In a large skillet cook the ground beef and sausage over medium heat until browned. Remove 1/4 cup drippings then strain and place into a crock pot or large stock pot.
In the same pan saute your onions, celery, carrots, peppers, and garlic with the 1/4 drippings and salt and pepper until the onions are soft and translucent. Stir in tomato paste and allow the mixture to caramelize. Add in your red wine, scraping the bottom of the pan with a spatula to get all the delicious flavor bits on the bottom. Add in the diced tomatoes, tomato soup, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and chili powder (not the old el paso just yet) cumin, parsley and ancho chile powder. Bring to a slow boil and then add in your honey. Simmer for a few minutes then add to the crock pot or pot.
Add all your beans to the crock pot and stir in your Old El Paso seasoning. Let cook for in crock pot for 4-6 hours. Turn it off and let cool overnight. Reheat in crockpot on low for 4-6 hours. Serve topped with sour cream, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro. (You can serve after the first 4-6 hours I just like to let mine sit!)
