How To make Cattleman's Beef And Beans

Ingredients
1
pound
beans, pinto, dried
6
cup
water
3
pound
beef, brisket, or round roast
1
each
onion, chopped
1/2
cup
molasses, dark
2
teaspoon
salt
1/2
teaspoon
ginger, ground
1/2
teaspoon
mustard, dry
1/4
teaspoon
pepper
1
each
bay leaf

Directions:
Rinse beans under running water, place in a large kettle with water. Bring to boiling, cover kettle, lower heat and cook 15 minutes. Let stand 1 hour.
Trim all excess fat from beef. Brown meat on all sides. Place meat in the bottom of the slow cooker; add beans and liquid, onion, mollasses, salt, ginger, mustard, pepper and bay leaf. Add more water, if needed to cover meat and beans; cover with lid. Cook on High for 2 hours, stir beans, adding more liquid if needed to keep beans and meat covered. Turn heat control to Low and cook for 8 hours, or until beans are very tender and liquid is absorbed.
Taste and season with a spoonful of hot prepared mustard, if you wish. Remove meat to a carving board and cut into slices; spoon beans around beef on platter.
