I never made beans from scratch until I got my Instant Pot. It’s just so easy. These beans are so much better than baked beans from a can, and you can really customize the spices if you like.

Sometimes I add cumin, or chuck a couple of bay leaves in during the first cook (just remove them when you rinse the beans).

These beans are GREAT for a potluck, family reunion, summer BBQ, etc. And you don’t have to keep stirring a pot on the stove all day to make them.

Enjoy!
