This is a family favorite. The original recipe included salt pork, but we leave that part out.

1	lb.	dry beans, Great Northern, pinto or navy
6	c.	cold water
11/2	lbs.	cubed lean beef
1	lg.	green pepper, chopped
1	c.	onion, chopped
1	clove	garlic, minced
11/2	tsp.	salt
1/4	tsp.	crush red pepper
1/4	tsp.	cumin
1/2	tsp.	oregano
1	can	tomato sauce (8 oz.)
1/2	tsp.	cooking oil

Wash and inspect beans, soak overnight in 6 cups cold water. After soaking, drain and set aside. Cook onion, pepper and garlic in oil until tender. Cook beef in same skillet. Combine all ingredients in Crockery Pot. Be sure there is enough liquid to cover all ingredients. Cook on low 3 to 6 hours or until beans and meat are tender.
