Instant Pot Smoky Sweet Baked Beans
These baked beans are infused with a smoky sweetness that makes them irresistible. Prep your Instant Pot, and let’s dive into the ingredients and instructions!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound dried navy beans, rinsed and sorted
- 4 cups water
- 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup molasses
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
- Start by adding the rinsed navy beans to your Instant Pot, along with 4 cups of water. Secure the lid and set the valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 40 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is done, allow the pressure to release naturally for about 20 minutes, then carefully release any remaining pressure by turning the valve to venting.
- Drain and rinse the beans, then return them to the pot. Add in the chopped onion, molasses, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, ground mustard, garlic powder, black pepper, and ketchup. Mix everything well to combine.
- Add a pinch of salt to taste. If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle in the cayenne pepper.
- Close the lid again, and set the valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for an additional 10 minutes. After the timer goes off, allow for a natural pressure release once again.
- After the beans are cooked, stir them gently. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed. Let the beans sit for about 10 minutes to thicken before serving.
Serve these delicious Smoky Sweet Baked Beans warm, and relish in their comforting flavors. They make a fantastic side dish or even a stand-alone meal. Enjoy!
