| Directions: | Turn Instant Pot on SAUTE mode. Once hot, add the bacon and cook for 2 minutes, flip and continue cooking. Add the onion and stir, cooking for about 2 minutes. Pour in the broth and water. Add the garlic powder, salt, chili powder, cumin, coriander, paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and pinto beans.
Place lid on, and turn Instant Pot on MANUAL mode with high pressure selected for 47 minutes.**
Once cooked, allow for the pressure to release naturally, this usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
Open the Instant Pot and remove the bacon and stir. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with cilantro if desired. Cooked beans will last for 1 week in the fridge.
I used uncured applewood smoked bacon
** If using older beans, you may need to add up to 10 minutes additional time.
– 2 tbsp. diced green chiles make a great addition to these beans |
