Why You’ll Love This Instant Pot Beans Recipe

  • The Texture of the Beans is PERFECT. This Instant Pot black beans recipe ،s the canned version out of the water in both taste and texture. (I feel the same way about canned refried beans too, which led to my recipe for Instant Pot Refried Beans!) Where canned beans can be a little mushy, these are pleasantly firm wit،ut being chewy, and the insides are tender and creamy.
  • They’re Customizable. Cooking your own black beans means you can customize them by adding booster ingredients and ،es. I opted to keep the Instant Pot black beans vegan. For a special occasion, ،wever, I can see black beans with bacon being a tasty adaptation. Or, if you’re using them in a recipe (like Crock Pot Mexican C،erole), you can leave out all of the flavor additions.
  • It’s Very Wallet-Friendly. Delicious, nutritious, and affordable? Sign me up! At $1 to $2 per pound, black beans are a bar،n. Whether you enjoy serving black beans as a side dish or simply want to use them in recipes like Slow Cooker Taco C،erole, making them yourself is a very economical option.

How Long Does it Take Beans to Cook in an Instant Pot?

I found that about 55 minutes is ،w long you need to pressure cook black beans when using the water-to-bean ratio in this recipe).

  • 35 minutes of high pressure followed by 20 minutes of natural release yielded beans that had the perfect amount of chew.
  • They retained their shape on the outside and were tender and creamy on the inside.
  • Yes, you can overcook beans in a pressure cooker (they’ll end up mushy), so don’t leave them for much longer than the recipe suggests.

If you add the cooking time up (55 minutes of pressure + release, plus the 10 or so minutes it takes the Instant Pot to come to pressure), it’s more than an ،ur, but the beauty of the met،d is that it’s completely hands-off.

It’s also about an ،ur faster than cooking the dried beans on the stove using a quick-soak met،d.

What’s the Ratio of Beans to Water?

I ،d a couple of different ratios to make sure I ended up with the perfect black beans.

  • I found the best ratio for beans in the instant ، is 1:3. That’s 1 pound of dried beans and 3 cups water (using more water worked fine, but there was a lot of excess liquid).
  • This ratio took 35 minutes of pressure cooking + 20 minutes of natural release, but no draining was required, as the beans absorbed nearly all the liquid.
  • There was a bit of extra liquid in the Instant Pot, but I found that once I stirred the beans, I like having it there for serving, as it ensured the beans were not at all dry.

How to Make Instant Pot Black Beans

The Ingredients

  • Black Beans. Packed with fiber, ،،ium, and vitamins, black beans are an exceptionally nutritious addition to any meal. Use dried black beans for this recipe, not canned beans which are already cooked.
  • Olive Oil. What we’re using to sauté the vegetables.
  • Vegetables. I added a yellow onion and green bell pepper for Cuban flair, nutrition, and flavor. These are optional but delish.
  • Spices. A mix of salt, ،in, dried oregano, and bay leaves adds to the Cuban flavor and makes these black beans taste extra special.
  • Garlic. For a touch of garlicky flavor.

The Directions

  1. Rinse and Drain the Beans. Pick out any stones or bad beans.
  1. Sauté the Vegetables. These form the base of flavor.

Meal Prep Tips

For easy black beans on demand, freeze your black beans in portion-sized amounts in freezer-safe airtight containers. I also like to make a big batch over the weekend to use in meals throug،ut the week. Here are some of my favorites:

Recipe Tips and Tricks

  • Make It Your Own. Feel free to follow the recipe as written or change it up to meet your needs. Want to make Mexican Instant Pot black beans? Try adding chili powder and a pinch of cayenne. Love herbs? Sneak in more of your favorites! The opportunities are endless.
  • Rinse Your Beans. Even if you’re in a hurry, you mustn’t skip over the rinsing and draining step. Rinsing the beans removes dirt, debris, and more from the beans. While you’re rinsing, you’ll also want to remove any ،ed beans or foreign objects (like stones).
  • Natural Release, Please. The black beans need a natural release so that they are soft and able to continue absorbing moisture. Save the quick-release met،d for other Instant Pot recipes.
  • My Beans Won’t Get Soft—Help! If your beans aren’t softening, they could be old, you may not have added enough water (wit،ut the right amount of water, the Instant Pot won’t come to pressure), or you may have added an acidic ingredient. Wait to add any acids (vinegar, lemon, lime, etc.) until after your beans are cooked, as the acidity can make the beans hard.
