--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      lb            Dry black beans
   1      tb            Salt
     1/4  c             Olive oil
   2      c             Onion -- minced
   7      oz            Can diced green chiles
   3      lb            Ground round
     3/4  c             Tomato paste
   1      tb            Red wine vinegar
   1      ts            Dry mustard
   1      tb            Garlic -- minced
   1      ts            Celery seed
     1/2  ts            Cumin seed
     1/8  ts            Cayenne
     1/4  ts            Black pepper

Place beans in a saucepot with water to cover, over a moderate flame.
Bring to a boil, simmer for 3 minutes, remove from heat, cover, and
let stand for 60 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain
well. Sprinkle salt over the beans, add water to cover, and place
over a moderate flame. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for
2-3 hours, until tender (adding water as needed to keep beans
covered.) Remove from heat, set aside. Heat the olive oil in a Dutch
oven, over a medium flame. Add the onions and bell peppers, heat and
stir for 5-6 minutes. Add the ground beef, heat and stir for 5-6
minutes, until all of the redness disappears. Add the beans in liquid
and the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low,
cover, and simmer for 60-90 minutes. Season to taste with additional
salt and pepper. Serve hot.
