Easy Ranch Style Beans Recipe Instant Pot Slow Cooker Or Stove Top

CROCK POT RANCH STYLE BEANS RECIPE

Steps:

• Place all of the ingredients in the crock pot in order. I like to put the water in last because it tends to 'mix' everything nicely together.
• If you do not like to mince garlic yourself, you can substitute 3-4 teaspoons of bottled minced garlic. (This is an indulgence, but it is a big convenience and sometimes you can find it marked down. Plus, one little bottle will last a long time.)
• Cook on low 8 hours or high for 5 hours.
• Serve hot and toss a pinch (or two) of shredded cheese on top for a little extra yum!

EASY RANCH STYLE BEANS RECIPE (INSTANT POT, SLOW COOKER OR STOVE TOP)

Steps:

• Place tomatoes/sauce, onion, garlic, molasses, vinegar, and 2 cups of beef broth in a blender. Puree until smooth.
• Rinse and sort pinto beans.
• If cooking on the stove (or on low in the crock pot - I do NOT do this step when using the Instant Pot) do a quick soak - put beans in pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil for 10 minutes. Turn stove off, cover and let sit for 1 hour. Drain.
• Combine beans, pureed mixture, 4 more cups of broth, salt, both paprikas, cumin, and oregano in your cooking device.
• Cook until done. Check and see if more salt is needed.
• Instant Pot: Cook on high pressure for 25-30 minutes. Quick release.
• Slow Cooker: Cook on high for 4-6 hours or cook on low for 8-10 hours. (Crock Pots are different, be sure to check doneness of the beans early the first time you make this.)
• Stove: (Do the quick soak first) Let beans simmer for 2-3 hours. Add additional broth or water if needed.

PRESSURE COOKER RANCH STYLE BEANS

Steps:

• This is every homemakers dream recipe. Dump everything into the pressure cooker and give it a good stir to mix it up.
• Pressure cook on high for 30 minutes.
• Release the pressure, give it a good stir and taste to see if needs more salt.
• Pressure cook for an addition 20 minutes on high and it should be done.
• Very soupy -- so eat it as soup if you like.
• I served mine over rice with a dollop of sour cream stirred in for a delicious added creaminess.
• EVERYONE LOVED IT!
