Drain all but 2 tablespoons of the fat, add the beef to the pot and cook until browned.

Drain all but 2 tablespoons of fat and repeat with the pork.

Drain all the fat and brown the sausage.

Remove the sausage with the spoon and add to the meat mixture. Do not drain the fat.

Add the diced onions and carrots to the pot and cook until the onions are translucent and softened stirring occasionally.
