"Thieves' Chile"

	1 lb ground beef (sirloin is good)
	1/2 lb pork sausage (spicy is good)
	2 med sized onions, chopped
	1 lg can stewed tomatoes
	1 15 oz can tomato sauce
	1 lg can red kidney beans
	1 T chile powder
	1/2 to 1 t red pepper (medium to hot)
	1 bay leaf
	1/2 pkg onion soup mix
	1/4 t basil
	1/4 t oregano
	1 t chopped garlic

Mix and brown the meat; drain.  Brown the onion.  Add everything.  Keep
bubbling until ready to devour.  I like it over a baked potato with
cheese and sour cream.
