MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Beef and Beans South of the Border Categories: Beans, Beef, Crockpot, Chilies, Steak Yield: 8 Servings 16 oz Dried small white beans; -rinsed, drained, picked over 4 c Water; very hot 28 oz Can diced peeled tomatoes 7 oz Can diced green chiles 4 cl Garlic; crushed with a press 2 tb Ground cumin 2 tb Chile powder 4 ts Dried oregano 1 ts Ground coriander 1 ts Salt 1/4 ts Freshly ground black pepper 1 1/2 lb Boneless beef top round or -sirloin steak; trimmed of fat, -cut into 1/2-inch cubes This versatile mixture is excellent fare for serving a casual crowd. It makes a good filling for burritos, tacos, enchiladas, and tostadas, and is especially convenient for last-minute suppers because it freezes well, too. I like to roll it up in warm flour tortillas with shredded Cheddar cheese, chopped scallions, salsa, sour cream, and guacamole. In a 5 or 6 quart electric slow cooker, mix together the beans, hot water, tomatoes with their liquid, green chiles, garlic, cumin, chili powder, oregano, coriander, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and beef. Cover and cook on the high heat setting 1 hour. Reduce the heat to the low setting and cook, covered, 8 hour longer, or until the beans and beef are tender. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Recipe from The Best Slow Cooker Cookbook Ever by Natalie Haughton Source: http://www.foodwine.com Posted by Roberta Banghart MMMMM
