   3      ts            Chili powder
  14      oz            Catsup
   2      tb            Brown sugar
   1      tb            Dry mustard
   1      tb            Salt
   2      ts            Paprika

   2      tb            Worcestershire

  Mix ground beef and sausage meat in a bowl; shape into 2 large
  patties. Brown one at a time, 5 minutes on each side in a large 
  kettle or 5 qt electric slow cooker. Remove and reserve.

  Pour off all but 2 tb of the drippings. Add onions and garlic,
  saute just until soft. Stir in celery and green pepper; continue
  cooking just until celery is soft, then stir in chili powder; cook
  2 minutes longer.

  Combine meat, broken into chunks and sauteed vegetables in the slow
  cooker. Stir in catsup, brown sugar, mustard, salt, paprika,
  pepper, water, vinegar, and worcestershire sauce; stir until
  well-blended; cover. 

  Cook on low for 8 hours, stirring after 4 hours if possible or on
  high for 4 hours, stirring after 2 hours. Spoon over your choice of
  hot cornbread squares, rice, toast, or tamales.
