Slow Cooker Cowboy Beans With Instant Pot Version Recipes

SLOW COOKER COWBOY BEANS (WITH INSTANT POT VERSION)

Steps:

• In a large skillet cook the bacon for 2-3 minutes. Add in the beef and onion and cook until the meat is no longer pink, then drain.
• Combine the beef mixture, bacon and all other ingredients in a slow cooker. For the liquid smoke you can add to taste, some people like it smokier!
• For the slow cooker, place the lid on top and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or low for 6-8 hours.
• If you want to cook in the oven you can also spoon the mixture into a greased 2-qt. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 45-60 minutes.
• Serve and enjoy!
• In the bottom of your Instant Pot using the "saute" button, cook the bacon for 2-3 minutes. Add in the beef and onion and cook until the meat is no longer pink, then drain.
• Combine the beef mixture, bacon and all other ingredients into the Instant Pot.
• For the Instant Pot, use the chili/stew button and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes. I do not recommend slow cooking as it doesn't do as good of a job as an actual slow cooker.
• Release the pressure via natural release for the safest way, or instant release it according to the manufacturers directions,.
• Serve and enjoy!
