Instant Pot Bacony Refried Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Put the bacon in a 6- to 8-quart Instant Pot; set to sauté on medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the bacon is crisp and the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from the pot.
• Add the onion and 1 teaspoon each salt and black pepper to the Instant Pot. Cook, stirring, until the onion is soft and translucent, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the paprika and cayenne; cook 30 seconds. Add the broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Turn off the sauté function. Stir in the beans, brown sugar, molasses, vinegar, tomato paste, bourbon and mustard.
• Put on the lid, making sure the steam valve is in the sealing position. Set to pressure-cook on high for 10 minutes. When the time is up, carefully turn the steam valve to the venting position and let the pressure release. Carefully remove the lid. Set the pot to sauté on medium heat; cook until the beans thicken slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in the reserved bacon.

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add oil, onion, garlic, and oregano; cook for 5 minutes. Add beans and water; stir. Close and lock the lid. Choose high pressure and set timer for 35 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes.
• Remove the lid and check a bean; if not yet tender, close and lock the lid and cook another 5 minutes at high pressure.
• Drain beans, reserving 2 cups of liquid. Return beans to pot and add salt and 1 cup reserved liquid. Puree using a stick blender, adding additional cooking liquid as needed. Keep warm using the slow cooker function.
