On a cutting board chop up the bell peppers, and onion. When you chop the poblano pepper remove the seeds and stem. Mince the garlic cloves. Set all the vegetables aside.

In a large sauce pan add the olive oil and turn the heat to medium high. Add the vegetables that were put aside and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Saute until onions are translucent and vegetables are tender. Add the ground beef and pork sausage cook for another 8-10 minutes or until meat is thoroughly cooked, break up into crumble as you stir then drain the grease.

In a large stock pot combine the black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, diced tomatoes & chilies, diced tomatoes, sliced olives, tomato sauce, green chilies, Taco Bell Mild Sauce, packet ranch salad dressing & seasoning mix, packet taco seasoning mix, and ½ teaspoon pepper.  Add in the cooked meat and vegetables and stir till well combined.

Bring the chili to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. As soon as it comes to boil reduce the heat to medium low and let it simmer with the lid on, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
