Cut garlic into small cube pieces, onion and bell peppers into strips, and jalapeño(s) into rings

Cut smoked sausage diagonally into "coins" (or round slices)

Cut potatoes 1/2 in pieces

Semi-cook potatoes, (not too soft just crisp, they'll finish cooking later) in about 3 tbls oil over medium/high heat, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (set aside)

Brown beef and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (about 1 tsp of salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper and garlic powder)

Once beef is browned, remove excess liquid/fat and place in a separate dish and set pan aside

Use the same pan, add 2 tbls oil and cook sausage (until brown, turning occasionally)

Add browned beef, onions and garlic

Once onion is "clear," add peppers and semi-cooked potatoes

Lower heat and cover pan with aluminum (to avoid air coming in) and top

Cook over low heat for 10 mins (or until potatoes are soft)
