Beef and Potatoes Quickie Supper

1 lb ground beef
1 pkg hot italian sausage (caseings removed)
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 cup cooking wine
1 onion chopped
1 tbsp chopped garlic
1/2 tsp thyme
3/4- 1 cup sour cream

2 cans sliced potatoes or 2 russet potatoes par boiled and sliced
2 tbsp butter
3tbsp wozzy sauce

Brown beef and sausage over med-high heat. Meanwhile in separate pan saute onions in butter til translucent(if adding mushrooms, they go in now too!). When the onions are softened and the butter is beginning to brown, not the onions the butter, add the garlic and saute but do not allow to brown. In crock pot--you can also do this in a large pot (which is much quicker and I was really busy today so I was using what I had to save time and have a hot meal ready when we all got home!) mix together the 2 cans of mushroom soup, wozzy, wine, thyme, and sauteed onions and garlic. Add the browned meats to the mixture (after draining the oil off of them!) and stir it all up. Put on low and let it simmer for 3-4 hours. then add the sour cream and mix thoroughly. Then add the potatoes and mix. Turn pot up to high and heat for about 20-30 more minutes or until hot throughout. Serve with homemade rolls, and a green vegg.
