 * 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
