These No-Soak Instant Pot Black Beans are made every week in my house. My whole family loves them because the beans are so incredibly tender. And, you’ll love that you don’t have to soak them over night. Just pour dried beans into the pot and in about an hour and a half, you’ll have the most incredible black beans.
Were you one of the many, many people that scooped up an Instant Pot during last year’s Prime Day Sale? Or Black Friday Sale? Or Cyber Monday Sale?
If you were then congrats!!! Instant Pots are awesome. If you haven’t yet purchased one… shame on you!
Just kidding!!! Maybe you not interested at all. That’s okay, but I really think you would love one. Maybe you think it’s too big? They have little 3-quart ones now! Maybe you are scared because of all the horror stories you hear about using a pressure cooker? Well, these are not your grandmother’s old school stove top pressure cooker! These are super cool and super safe.
I purchased mine Black Friday on 2016 and have become an avid Pot Head. Its use is in heavy rotation in our house. From meats to stews to soups to sweets. I love it!
But how is it that I have have had my Instant Pot for over a year now and I have only shared Instant Pot recipe… shame on me!!
What’s that recipe I shared? My Instant Pot Monkey Bread. Check it out!
The number one thing that we make in our Instant Pot is black beans. So many black beans. SO SO MANY!!!
We all love beans but Autumn really loves them so I happily make them for her so that she gets nice and full on a healthy protein packed food.
I previously shared our favorite recipe for black beans, which Autumn actually calls “Teacher Beans” as her previous daycare teacher used to make them and got her hooked on them. It’s a great recipe that I just slightly tweaked to make it perfect for the Instant Pot.
Gloria’s Black Beans are perfect but they do require an overnight soak, when not using a pressure cooker. Instead of making beans being an overnight process, I now can have them on our table in under 2 hours!
I have a feeling these will be a family favorite in now time and you will be walking past the canned beans from now on.
