Hi Catherine,

Being from the South myself, I'd say "white beans" refers to either navy beans or Great Northern beans. These are a rather unusual combination with ribs, but I did find the below recipe. It doesn't specifically call for mustard, but mustard and ketchup are componenets of barbecue sauce, which it does call for. If the barbecue sauce were home-made, then mustard would be listed. This is the only recipe I could find that came close. All of the other beef short ribs recipes were for barbecued ribs with no beans or with red beans.

Barbecued Bean Soup

1 pound Great Northern beans, soaked
2 teaspoons salt
1 medium onion, chopped
1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
2 pounds beef short ribs
6 cups water
3/4 cup barbecue sauce

Place all ingredients in slow cooker except barbecue sauce Cover and 
cook on Low 10 to 16 hours. Before serving, remove short ribs and cut 
meat from bones.

Return meat to slow cooker. Stir in barbecue sauce before serving
