Instant Pot Bean Recipes

Beans are one of my favorite things to make in my Instant Pot, and one of the reasons my pressure cooker didn't become "just another cooking gadget", collecting dust on the back shelf of the closet. Cooked dry beans are so much better than beans from a can, and pressure cooking makes them quick and easy.


Here are my most popular bean recipes, my personal favorite recipes, and then a complete list of pressure cooker bean recipes.
