and did they ever turn out great!

It took about 1 1/2 hours in total instead of 8+ hours in my crock pot. I will obviously pay for it later. ;)

Recipe:

Bean Prep:
2 cups of dried Great Northern Beans
4 cups of water

Put lid on and push pressure knob to pressurize.
cook on high pressure for 15 mins. when done, let pot sit for 20 mins. depressurize by tunring knob to vent and drain beans. put beans back in pot.

Sauce Prep:
1/2 cup Brown sugar
1/2 cup fancy molasses
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup ketchup
2 cups boiling water

combine everything in a bowl and then add the boiling water. mix it good.

Bean Cooking:
1 small peeled onion
bacon as needed. I used 5 thick slices.
bowl of mixed sauce

place whole onion on beans. Put bacon on beans. Pour sauce over everything in pot.
Put lid on and push pressure knob to pressurize.
cook on high pressure for 16 mins. when done, let pot sit for 20 mins. depressurize by turning knob to vent. remove lid and stir things up. if too watery then press saute and stir them for 5 - 10 minutes until thickened the way you want. then press cancel.

Enjoy homemade beans easy as can be!

:D

I have all kinds of dry-storage ingredients in food buckets with gamma-seal lids in my basement...beans, chickpeas, various rices, popcorn, field corn (for making tortillas), etc. The Instant Pot makes it super easy to do a zillion things with beans...hummus, baked beans, refried beans, chilis, etc. Once you get the hang of the IP, it's just too easy man...
