Hello Aaron,
Each of these sites has a bit, but I could not find a lot of history
for pfeffernusse. They apparently did not come to America with the
Pennsylvania Dutch, but came later with German immigrants in the 19th
century.

The spotlighted cookbook is "Deli: 101 New York-style deli dishes from chopped liver
to cheesecake" by Sue Kreitzman. Available through Amazon.com.
2nd Avenue Deli Cholent
1 cup dried lima beans
1 cup dried pinto beans
3 pounds flanken (beef flank)
3 boiling potatoes, peeled and quartered
4 large onions, chopped
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1. Preheat the oven to 200°F
2. Rinse the dried beans and pick over them for loose stones or dirt.
3. Choose a large, wide mouthed casserole. Layer in half of each type
bean, the flanken, the potatoes, the onions, and the remaining beans.
Pour in water to cover by 2 inches. Season with salt and a generous
amount of pepper. Bring to a boil on the top of the stove. Skim off
foam and scum.
4. Bake, uncovered, for 16 to 17 hours. As it cooks a crust will form
on top. In the morning, push the crust into the cholent with a wide
spatula. Repeat every few hours. When the mixture is thick but not
cementlike and the beans are creamy, the cholent is done. Adjust the
seasonings.
