Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare Meat Mixture: In large fry pan, brown ground beef; drain. Add beans, onion, molasses and catsup; mix well. Bring mixture to a boil; remove from heat and cover to keep warm. (No need to sift flour; measure by lightly spooning into cup and leveling off.) In large mixing bowl, combine flour with baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Add milk and molasses; stir just until dough clings together. On lightly floured surface, knead dough 5 or 6 times. Roll out to 12x9-inch rectangle. Spread 3/4 cup warm Meat Mixture over dough. Starting with longer side, roll up; cut into twelve 1-inch slices. Pour remaining hot Meat Mixture into 12x8 or 13x9-inch (shallow 2 or 3 qt.) baking dish. Place biscuit slices on hot mixture in baking dish forming 3 rows of 4 biscuits each. (To assure doneness, place biscuits on hot Meat Mixture.) Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes until biscuits are browned and bean mixture is bubbly. Serve hot. Makes 6 to 8 servings. Tip: Reheat, covered with foil, at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes until bubbly. HIGH ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT-5,200 feet. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.
