Steps:
- Cook bacon in the bottom of the pressure cooker. Towards the end of cooking the bacon, add the onions and sauté for another minute or so. Add green beans and toss with the bacon so that the beans are lightly coated with some of the bacon grease. Add water. Cook beans for 5 minutes under pressure according to your pressure cooker directions. Season to taste.
Tips:
- Choose tender, young green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when bent. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
- Trim the green beans: Remove the ends of the beans and any tough strings. You can also cut the beans into smaller pieces if desired.
- Use a pressure cooker that is large enough to hold all of the ingredients: A 6-quart or larger pressure cooker is a good option.
- Add enough liquid to the pressure cooker: The liquid should cover the green beans by at least 1 inch.
- Season the green beans to taste: You can add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or other seasonings to the pressure cooker.
- Cook the green beans on high pressure for the recommended amount of time: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of pressure cooker you are using and the size of the green beans.
- Quick-release the pressure: Once the cooking time is complete, release the pressure from the pressure cooker quickly by using the quick-release valve.
- Serve the green beans immediately: Green beans are best served hot, but they can also be stored in the refrigerator for later use.
