1/2 cup dried red kidney beans
2 cups water
1 pound ground buffalo meat

Rinse beans thoroughly in cold water. In a large, heavy saucepan, heat the beans and water to boiling and boil 3 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 1 hour. Add enough water, if necessary, to cover beans and heat to boiling again. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1-1/2 hours. Beans should be tender.
