INSTANT POT BAKED BEANS
For your next outdoor barbecue, use dried navy beans to make this easy Instant Pot Baked Beans recipe, featuring a classic sticky sauce of molasses, ketchup, and seasonings.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound dried navy beans*
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 10-ounces (8 slices) thick-sliced bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Rinse the beans in a colander and sort through to remove any debris. Soak the beans overnight* in the pressure cooking pot with 8 cups of water and 1 tablespoon salt.
- After soaking, drain and rinse the beans; discard the soaking liquid.
- Select Sauté and add the bacon to the pressure cooking pot. Cook until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Add the onion to the pot and cook in the bacon fat until tender, about 3 minutes. Scrape up brown bits on the bottom of the pot as the onions cook.
- Add 2 1/2 cups water, molasses, ketchup, brown sugar, dry mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to the onions and stir to combine. Stir in the soaked beans.
- Select high pressure and 35 minutes cook time. When the cook time ends, turn the pressure cooker off and do a 10 minute natural pressure release, followed by a quick pressure release to release any remaining pressure. Carefully remove the lid.
- Discard any beans that are floating, and check several beans to make sure they're tender. If not, return to high pressure for a few more minutes.
- Stir in the cooked bacon. Select Simmer and simmer beans uncovered, stirring occasionally so the bottom doesn't burn, until the sauce is the desired consistency.
NOTES
*Note that the total time does not include soaking times.
If you don’t have time for an overnight soak, use this quick soak method: Pressure cook the beans on high for 1 minute. Turn the pressure cooker off and let beans soak for one hour. Proceed with the recipe as directed.

My note: followed the cooking procedure but used my own ingredients. We liked the results, the beans were evenly cooked. This is the link: https://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/pressure-cooker-baked-beans/
