Fry ground hamburger, onions and celery together until well done.
While frying the above add your garlic powder or crushed garlic and oregano. Add spices to your liking. I use a lot of garlic and oregano!!
Once your ground hamburger mixture is done add mushrooms, diced tomatoes, tomato soup, and beans.
Mix together well and add chili powder to your taste preference. I use a lot of chili powder, but your taste preference may be different, just remember to add a bit at a time to acquire the right taste.
Heat thoroughly on low and simmer for about a hour to an hour.
