Burgundy Beans(Serves 8 To 10) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb. red dried beans
5 c. hot water
3/4 lb. ground beef (I also add a can of chili without beans)
2 tsp. chili powder
2 c. solid packed canned tomatoes, chopped (I use the ready-cut canned tomatoes)
1 c. Burgundy or red dry wine (cooking Burgundy may be used)
1/2 c. minced onion
1 large clove garlic
3 tsp. seasoned salt
1/2 lb. Jack, Mozzarella or Muenster cheese, diced

Preparation

Wash beans; place in 5-quart saucepan and add 5 cups hot water. Simmer beans for about 1 1/2 hours.
Saute beef and chili powder until grey in color, breaking up well.
Add to beans along with tomatoes the wine, onion, garlic and salt.
Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours longer or until beans are desired doneness.
Just before serving, stir in diced cheese.
Let stand covered a few minutes to melt cheese.
