  * Skinned and crumbled 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 1 1/4 hours.  After cooking time is up, add the
  beans and stir. Top with grated Monterey Jack cheese and finely
  chopped scallions. FROM: THOMAS BROWN
