• Soak overnight, or bring to a boil, cook for 3 minutes, then cover and remove from heat, allowing to sit undisturbed for 1 hour.
• Drain and rinse beans, and cover with 6 cups water.
• Bring to a boil, then cover, and simmer for 1- 1 1/2 hours or until tender and creamy.

• Stir in cooked beef, tomato paste, and chopped green chilies.
