Brown hamburger in skillet until well-cooked; drain. 
 Add onion, celery, & green
pepper.  Stir-fry for about 5 min.  Then add all remaining 
ingredients except cheese. 
Heat and simmer for a few minutes.  Turn out into lightly 
greased 9x13" baking dish
and bake for 45 min. at 350f.  Remove from oven and 
top with cheese.  Return to oven
for 5 minutes to melt cheese.  Cool 5 minutes before 
serving. **A tip for cooking dried
beans: *Do not* cook them in soaking water.  Drain and 
rinse well at least once, more is
better.  Cook in  *fresh* water.  This will help reduce 
problems with flatulence.
