BETTY'S CHILI BEAN BAKE 
1/4 cup fat or salad oil
3/4 cup sliced onions
1 lb. ground beef
1 cup thinly sliced celery
1 tbsp paprika
1/4 tsp allspice
1 can condensed tomato soup
1 (1 lb 4 oz.) can kidney beans (drained)
2 tsp garlic salt
1 to 1 1/2 tbsp chili powder
1/2 cup grated american cheddar cheese

Melt the fat in a large skillet. Add onions and sauté until tender and golden brown, add ground meat, brown lightly. Add the rest of the ingredients except for the cheese. With a 2 tined fork (to avoid breaking the beans) stir until blended. Pour into a greased 1 1/2 qt casserole. Sprinkle grated cheese over the top and bake in a 325°F oven for 30 minutes.

Serve over buttered thin noodles, rice or hot corn bread with a green salad.
