Block Party Beans

2 pounds ground beef
2 cups chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery (Optional)
1 tbl Minced garlic
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) tomato soup
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
½ cup ketchup
1 can (16 ouncs) green beans, drained
1 can (17 ounces) lima beans, drained (substitute black or kidney beans)
1 can (15 ½ ounces) wax beans, drained (substitute black or kidney beans)
1 can (15-16 ounces) chili beans, undrained (substitute baked beans)
1 can (16 ounces) pork and beans, undrained
½ cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons prepared mustard

Optional: Add 1 tbl red pepper flakes

In a large Dutch oven (pan) brown beef over medium-high heat. Drain fat. Add onion and celery; cook until tender. Stir in soup, tomato paste and ketchup; simmer 15 – 20 minutes. Spoon into a large kettle or roaster (I put it in the crock pot). Add all remaining ingredients; stir well. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 1 hour if using the roaster. If using the crock pot – cook for the 6 – 8 hours. About 25 servings.
EnJOY!
