Leslie's Pressure Cooker Pinto Beans

Every time I eat bean and rice at Leslie's house, I can't believe how good they are. I soak mine overnight, but I don't know that it makes a difference. https://www.apinchofhealthy.com/instant-pot-pinto-beans/

  • 1 pound dry pinto beans
  • 5 1/2 cups water
  • 1 2/3 Tablespoon Better Than Bullion vegetable base
  • salt and pepper to taste (Honestly, mine didn't need any. The BTB flavored them perfectly. Taste them first.)

Instructions

  1. Rinse off your pinto beans, and drain them using a wire mesh strainer.

  2. Add them to the Instant Pot, along with the water and Better Than Bullion vegetable base.

  3. Close and lock the lid, and cook on manual high pressure for 45 minutes. Note: It will take several minutes to come to pressure.

  4. Allow the pressure to naturally release (Do not use the valve, but let it sit until the pressure indicator pin drops on its own. Mine took about 26 minutes, FYI.)

Recipe Notes

45 minutes is the pressure cook time, but this will take longer than that to cook. The pot takes a little while to come up to pressure, plus about 25 minute to naturally release.
