I think at this point, a trip to an obedience class would do a world of good. It sounds like you need to start at the beginning in training with this baby. Invest in a crate - if you haven't already. I'd buy one with only the grill and the rest plastic. This will give her a space to "hide." I'd put it in a place where your family often spends a lot of time - and close all doors in the home so that she has to be with you.
I'd also invest in a clicker - not all dogs (yes even food driven dogs like Beagles) will respond to the same type stimulus. Some dogs like squeaky toys, some prefer food, others like the clicker. Keep a collar on her - and if you have to, maybe even loop the leash on your pant loop and keep her by your side. She needs to learn that you all are not scary.
I think these ideas would be a good way to start; but definitely look into obedience class /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif I also want to say the best of luck to you!
