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.

Remove the pot from the heat. Take cover off and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
