  In a large pot, soak the beans together overnight in water to cover.
  Drain and add fresh water to cover.  Cook at a simmer for  1 1/2
  hours or until beans are just tender.
  While the beans are simmering, heat a large skillet.  Mince the bacon
  and cook it until it begins to crisp.  Add the onions and garlic and
  cook over medium heat for 5 minutes.  Add all the spices and the
  ground Poblanos and cook another 5 minutes.  Add the tomatoes with
  their juice and the beer. Simmer for half an hour.
  In another pan,  cook the beef until the pink color disappears.
  Drain and add it to tomato mixture.
  When the beans are fully cooked, drain them, reserving the liquid,
  and add the beans to the meat/tomato mixture.  Salt to taste and let
  the mixture simmer for about 1 hour.  If it is too dry, add some of
  the bean liquid. ***Author unknown.Recipe from local bbs file.***
