Southwestern Beef and Beans

Just happened to find this recipe on Facebook.  I love just about anything southwestern so it merited a try.  It was a very simple way to use your dry beans, and even though it called for pintos, you could use any bean you have. Everyone really liked it and it was a great, fast meal.
about 1 lb. or so chuck roast
2 c. pintos
1 can Rotel
1 can green chilies
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. garlic (or more if you like)
1 tsp. chili powder
1 chopped onion

Place the beans that have been rinsed and soaked. (I boil the beans for 1 hour if I didn't soak them overnight - or just microwave them for about 20 min. or till boiling and put into crockpot)
Add the rotel and chilies, then the spices and then a cut up chuck roast.  Season the meat just a little more
with the same seasonings.  Add water to cover the beans and cook on high for about 8 hours.  Never salt your beans till the end.  If needed, add more water during cooking time.
