Chile

1-2 lbs. Hamburger
1 onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
3 tsp. salt
2 tsp. chili powder
2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. cumin
2 bay leaves (take out after baking)

Bake in 9x13 glass pan. 325 for 1 and a 1/2 hours. Then put in crock pot and add:

2 cans diced tomatoes
2 cans pork & beans
2 cans diced green chilies (In original recipe, but I don't add)
1 can refried beans
1 can cream of mushroom
2 can cream of chicken

**All cans are the small size.
Heat through and serve. I like to keep my on low for a few hours.

**Makes a lot. I like to freeze half and get two (or three) meals out of it. I am normally not a Chile lover, but this is the exception!
