Preparation

Step 1

Soak the beans in cold water overnight.

Wash beans, place in a kettle and add enough cold water to make the water level 2 inches higher than the top of the beans. Bring to boil and cook 1 hour.

Add remaining ingredients (except beef). Reduce flame and cook 4 to 6 hours, or more if desired.

Add browned ground beef, if using.
