Add ground beef and pork sausage to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook for 8-10 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until no pink remains and the meat is fully browned. Drain off any excess grease.

Sprinkle the meat and vegetable mixture with Cajun seasoning, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly throughout.
