Creamy Southern Style White Beans Instant Pot Food

INSTANT POT WHITE BEANS

Steps:

• Add the beans to the Instant Pot and the water. Make sure the beans are covered by at least 1 inch of water.
• Cover and lock the lid, then turn the valve to sealing. Select the beans/chili button (or 30-40 minutes at high pressure).**Please note: Instant Pots vary in cooking, so may take a little longer with certain ones.**
• When the beans are finished cooking, wait for the Instant Pot to cool down for 10-15 minutes or release pressure manually by taking a hand towel and carefully opening up the steam valve on the lid. It is safe to open the lid once all steam has been released.
• Use the beans in any recipes that call for canned beans.
