There is a restaurant that serves an amazing rice and beans dish, and this was my inspiration for making this dish. It's so simple to make, and I love to make big batches of these and freeze them for later uses in tacos or anything I can.
Cooking dried beans on a stovetop can take quite a while, but using a pressure cooker to make these, changes the cooking time to less than ten minutes.
​
This is such a simple recipe, just a handful of basic ingredients and it takes a few minutes to put together. It is incredibly budget friendly; you can double or triple this and once completely cooled store away in your freezer for any recipe that calls for baked beans.
​
We will be using dried beans in this recipe which I will be soaking over night. Soaking it helps with the cooking time as well as with digestion.
​

1. Rinse and drain dried beans well.
​
2. Cover beans with water and soak overnight.
​
3. The next day, drain and rinse well.
​
4. Add beans to Instant Pot insert and cover beans with water.
​
5. Add seasonings, salt, black pepper ground cumin, poultry seasoning, and chili powder
​
6. Grate in onion and garlic.
​
7. Place Instant Pot on Pressure Cook, with lid on sealing and cook for 6-7 minutes.
​
8. Manually release pressure or leave alone to release.
​
9. Add your chopped cilantro and give everything a miix.
