Instant Pot Ranch Style Beans Recipes

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.

INSTANT POT RANCH STYLE BEANS

Steps:

• Place ingredients in Instant Pot and stir.
• Close lid, lock and set vent to seal.
• Cook at pressure on manual/high for 45 minutes.
• Allow steam to release naturally before removing lid.

INSTANT POT BARBECUE BEANS

Steps:

• Put the bacon in a 6- to 8-quart Instant Pot; set to sauté on medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the bacon is crisp and the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from the pot.
• Add the onion and 1 teaspoon each salt and black pepper to the Instant Pot. Cook, stirring, until the onion is soft and translucent, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the paprika and cayenne; cook 30 seconds. Add the broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Turn off the sauté function. Stir in the beans, brown sugar, molasses, vinegar, tomato paste, bourbon and mustard.
• Put on the lid, making sure the steam valve is in the sealing position. Set to pressure-cook on high for 10 minutes. When the time is up, carefully turn the steam valve to the venting position and let the pressure release. Carefully remove the lid. Set the pot to sauté on medium heat; cook until the beans thicken slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in the reserved bacon.

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!
