The ingredients for Franc's Barbecue Beans are:

2 c. pinto beans (rinsed/sorted)
6 c. water
1 tsp. beef bouillon granules
3 Tbsp. blackstrap molasses (treacle for you U.K. folks)
3 Tbsp. barbecue sauce
1/4 tsp. garlic salt
2 tsp. chili powder
1 Tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
15 oz. beef chuck, cubed
13 oz. pork stew meat.

Here is how you make Franc's Barbecue Beans:

Soak beans overnight (with baking soda to reduce future flatulence if desired). Drain and put into crockpot with 6 c. fresh water. Turn on Low and let it run for 3 hours at least (I let it go all day and it doesn't hurt it). Sear meats in olive oil and seasonings in large pot. Once they are fairly well cooked, add the contents of the crock pot. Stir in the barbecue sauce and the molasses. Allow the flavors to blend. Serve.
