INSTANT POT® BAKED BEANS



Instant Pot® Baked Beans image

This recipe was passed down through my French Canadian family from my grandmother, to my mother and then to me many years ago. It traditionally takes hours to make, as we let the beans slow cook overnight in the oven on low heat. I decided to try and transform it into a much quicker Instant Pot® recipe with great success! With this method, you don't even have to presoak the beans. These are even better the next day, and they freeze well, too.

Categories     Side Dish     Beans and Peas     Baked Bean Recipes

Time 2h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 cups water
1 pound dry navy beans, rinsed and picked through
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 ounces salt pork, diced
6 ounces bacon, cut into small pieces
1 small onion, minced
1 ½ cups water, divided
¼ cup ketchup
⅓ cup molasses
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon yellow mustard

Steps:

  • Combine water and beans in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot®). Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method for 20 minutes; quick-release remaining pressure according to manufacturer's directions. Unlock and remove the lid. Drain and rinse the beans with cold water and set aside. Rinse and wipe out Instant Pot® insert and place back into the pressure cooker.
  • Turn on Instant Pot® and select Saute function. Heat olive oil until shimmering, 2 to 3 minutes. Add salt pork, bacon, and onion and briefly cook until fat begins to render, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in 1/2 cup water and scrape any brown bits off the bottom. Turn Instant Pot® off.
  • Whisk together ketchup, molasses, brown sugar, mustard, and remaining 1 cup water in a small bowl. Return cooked beans to the pot along with the ketchup mixture. Gently stir to combine. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 35 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method for 20 minutes; quick-release any remaining pressure according to manufacturer's directions. Unlock and remove the lid. Beans will thicken upon cooling. Serve immediately or freeze portions for later.

INSTANT POT BARBECUE BEANS



Instant Pot Barbecue Beans image

Traditional baked beans need to cook for hours, but these Instant Pot ones are ready in 40 minutes! They also use a secret ingredient: bourbon. To make the dish vegetarian, simply omit the bacon.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
1 small onion, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 15.5-ounce cans navy or small white beans, drained and rinsed
2/3 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons bourbon
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Put the bacon in a 6- to 8-quart Instant Pot; set to sauté on medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the bacon is crisp and the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from the pot.
  • Add the onion and 1 teaspoon each salt and black pepper to the Instant Pot. Cook, stirring, until the onion is soft and translucent, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the paprika and cayenne; cook 30 seconds. Add the broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Turn off the sauté function. Stir in the beans, brown sugar, molasses, vinegar, tomato paste, bourbon and mustard.
  • Put on the lid, making sure the steam valve is in the sealing position. Set to pressure-cook on high for 10 minutes. When the time is up, carefully turn the steam valve to the venting position and let the pressure release. Carefully remove the lid. Set the pot to sauté on medium heat; cook until the beans thicken slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in the reserved bacon.

SWEET AND SPICY BARBECUED PINTO BEANS



Sweet and Spicy Barbecued Pinto Beans image

From the RSVP section of an old Bon Appetit Magazine. Recipe is courtesy of C Lazy U Ranch in Colorado. Can be made 1 day ahead and refrigerated. Prep time does not include overnight soaking time for beans.

Provided by DailyInspiration

Categories     Onions

Time 1h50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb dried pinto bean
5 cups water (or more)
1 onion, chopped
6 garlic cloves, chopped
1 bay leaf
3/4 cup ketchup
6 tablespoons dark brown sugar, packed
5 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon paprika
2 1/2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme

Steps:

  • Place pinto beans in heavy large pot. Add enough water to pot to cover beans by 3 inches; let soak overnight. Drain beans. Return beans to pot. Add 5 cups water, chopped onion, garlic and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Boil until beans are just tender, stirring occasionally, about 55 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients and simmer until beans are very tender and flavors blend, about 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beans: For this recipe, pinto beans or black beans work best. You can also use a mix of both.
  • Soak the beans: Soaking the beans overnight helps to reduce cooking time and makes them more digestible. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a good quality barbecue sauce: The barbecue sauce is the key flavor component in this dish, so make sure to use a good quality sauce that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Add some heat: If you like your beans spicy, add a teaspoon or two of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the pot. You can also add some chopped jalapeños or serrano peppers.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: These beans are great served with rice, cornbread, or mashed potatoes. You can also add them to tacos, burritos, or nachos.

Conclusion:

This Instant Pot Sweet and Spicy BBQ Beans recipe is an easy and delicious way to enjoy a classic comfort food. The beans are cooked to perfection in the Instant Pot, and the sweet and spicy barbecue sauce gives them a flavor that everyone will love. These beans are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a potluck party. They're also a great way to use up leftover barbecue sauce.
