Directions

This is one of my favorite recipes from The Firefighters cookbook, compiled by John Sineno, one of New York's bravest and well fed!! Brown sausage, ground meat, onion, and garlic in a pot. Add remaining ingredients except beans, bring to a boil, cover, and simmer 1¼ hours. After cooking time is up, add the beans and stir. Top with grated Monterey Jack cheese and finely chopped scallions. FROM: THOMAS BROWN
