Best Ever Chunky Chili - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 cups dry pinto beans
    1 1/2 cups dried navy beans
    water
    1 small bay leaf
    1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
    1 tablespoon cumin powder
    1 teaspoon salt
    3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
    1 teaspoon onion powder
    1/2 lb ground beef
    1/2 onion, diced
    1/2 green pepper, diced
    1 celery rib, diced
    1 (32 ounce) can tomato puree
    1 (10 ounce) can tomatoes, diced
    2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
    1 1/2 cups ketchup
    4 tablespoons lemon juice
    4 tablespoons brown sugar
    1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Preparation
    Cover beans with water and bring to a boil; set aside to soak at least 1 hour. Rinse, discarding bean water and recover beans with more water by 2-inches. Season and pressure cook, see tips (or soak overnight, then season and cook for 60-90 min, adding water as necessary).
    Tips: Bring a 5 qt pressure cooker up to 15 lb pressure (PSI, 2nd ring for 2nd generation cookers). Cook 15 minutes @ sea level (adding 1 minute per 1000 ft in altitude) or consult the Ball Blue Book.
    Softening Beans: NEVER add acidic foods (such as tomato products, lemon juice or vinegar) BEFORE the beans are fully softened.
    In a 2nd large stock pot, brown the meat and veggies, add remaining ingredients and softened beans, simmer uncovered 1 hour.
