2 to 2 1/2 pound boneless beef chuck roast, excess fat removed
2 cups dry pinto beans, uncooked (rinsed and drained)
1 (10-ounce) can Rotel tomatoes with green chilies, undrained (I used Original)

In a small mixing bowl, stir together the undrained Rotel tomatoes, chopped onion, and all the seasonings (including the bouillon granules). Pour mixture over the beans and give it a little stir. Lay the roast on top and season the surface with a little garlic salt, salt, and black pepper. Add enough water to cover beans and about half of the roast. (May need additional water during cooking.)
