Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Baked Bean Dish.
Step 1
To start your delicious navy bean dish, grab your Instant Pot and pour in 8 cups of water along with the rinsed navy beans.
Step 2
Secure the lid tightly and set the pot to high pressure for 15 minutes.
Step 3
As the timer counts down, give it about 10 to 15 minutes to build up pressure.
Step 4
Once the timer beeps, let the pressure release naturally for about 20 minutes, then carefully quick-release any remaining pressure.
Step 5
Gently unlock the lid and set it aside.
Step 6
Drain the beans and rinse them under cold water, then put them aside for later.
Step 7
Next, give your Instant Pot insert a quick rinse and wipe to keep things tidy before placing it back in the cooker.
Step 8
Turn on the Instant Pot and select the Sauté function.
Step 9
Add a splash of olive oil and let it heat up until it shimmers, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 10
Toss in the diced salt pork, bacon, and minced onion, cooking them together until the fat starts to render, around 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 11
Pour in ½ cup of water and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any tasty browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot.
Step 12
Once everything is nicely combined, turn off the Instant Pot.
Step 13
In a small bowl, whisk together the molasses, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and the remaining 1 cup of water until smooth.
Step 14
Return the cooked beans to the pot and pour in your flavorful ketchup mixture.
Step 15
Gently stir everything together, ensuring the beans are well-coated.
Step 16
Now, it’s time to seal the pot again.
Step 17
Lock the lid in place and set it to high pressure for 35 minutes, allowing another 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build.
Step 18
After the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for about 20 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure.
Step 19
Carefully unlock the lid and take a moment to enjoy the wonderful aroma wafting from your pot.
Step 20
As the beans cool, they will thicken beautifully.
Step 21
Serve them warm right away, or portion them out and freeze for a cozy meal later.
Step 22
Enjoy your hearty creation!.
