Sweet Bean Casserole

My hubby is not a fan of casseroles, I grew up with them and love them so I have to share all my favorite casseroles with someone....right?!!

1 lb. ground beef

1/2 green pepper, diced

2 slices from onion, diced

2 stalks celery, chopped

1 can stewed tomatoes

1 small can green chilies

1 can red beans

1 tsp. chili powder

3 T brown sugar

2 tsp. vinegar

Cooked Rice

Brown the ground beef. Blend stewed tomatoes and green chilies to a sauce consistency (if you don't have a machine that will do that, like me, I just use 2 small cans of tomato sauce). Rinse the red beans. Add all ingredients to meat. Simmer for 5 minutes. Serve over rice.
