Czech Goulash (the Real Thing)

This came from my Grandmother who received it from her mother who moved here from Czechoslovokia.
== Ingredients ==
* 2 lbs cubed Beef, about 1/2 inch
* 2 lbs of cubed Pork, about 1/2 inch
* 2 tablespoons oil, to brown your meat

* 1 teaspoon Sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
* 1/2 teaspoon red peppers

== Directions ==
# Heat oil in large Dutch oven (large stew pot) on high heat.
# Combine Beef and Pork and begin to brown in oil on all sides.
# When meat is browned on all sides add Onion; add enough water to cover the meat and onions mixture.
# Tie pickling spices in a cheesecloth or, us a metal tea ball only half full.
# Spices will expand while cooking.
# Drop cheesecloth or teaball into meat mixture.
# Simmer mixture for 45 minutes.
# Add ingredients from cans, diced tomatoes, tomato soup, and catsup; stir mixture well.
# Finally add all the spices as measured, the vinegar and the whiskey!
# Turn fire or heat to a low setting and simmer for 1 hour with lid on the pot.
# Check and stir frequently to prevent the bottom from scorching or burning.
# Remove pickling spice container and discard before serving
;Note
# You can add 2 cups of egg noodles as you are simmering the soup till the noodles are tender. You may have to add a little more water for the noodles.
