2 Lbs lean ground beef

2 cups chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery stalk
1 can condensed tomato soup, undiluted
1 cup ketchup
1 can pork and beans
1 can chili beans
1 can Great Northern beans
1 can black beans
1 can cut green beans, drained
1 can cut wax beans, drained
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
3 strips bacon cut in small pieces (optional)

Brown beef in a large skillet and drain. Then fry the bacon pieces and drain leaving 2 Tbsp of the grease. 

Add the onions, and celery and saute until tender. 

In large deep casserole pan or dutch oven, combine all the ingredients. Stir well to combine all ingredients, simmer for 20 minutes.

Then place in oven uncovered at 350 degrees for about one hour. Great for picnics or pot lucks.

It is at its best if refrigerated overnight and then gently reheated the next day before eating. Trust me on this...it's really, really good!
