Instant Pot Baked Beans - seriously the BEST baked beans I've ever eaten!!! I could make a meal out of these yummy beans! Loaded with beef and bacon. SO easy to make! Great for potlucks and cookouts. Ground beef, bacon, onion, baked beans, ketchup, mustard, beef broth, garlic, brown sugar. I took these to a cookout and everyone asked for the recipe. A new favorite!!
Turn Instant Pot to SAUTE and cook ground beef and bacon until no longer pink. Drain fat.
Add some of the beef broth to Instant Pot insert and scrape up any cooked bits from the bottom of the insert. This will help avoid getting the BURN notice.
Add remaining ingredients and stir.
Cover Instant Pot with lid. Lock in place and seal.
Cook on MANUAL or HIGH PRESSURE for 8 minutes.
Natural release pressure for 10 minutes and then quick release any remaining pressure.
Notes:
I use Bush's baked beans. You can use any flavor of baked beans that you enjoy.
Can substitute ground turkey and turkey bacon.
Feel free to add bell pepper and use freshly chopped red onion.
Sometimes I add a little bit of chili powder to give the beans a kick.
I use beef broth. Feel free to substitute chicken broth, vegetable broth, or cold water.
Can I make Baked Beans in the slow cooker? Yes! Brown the meats and place all of the ingredients in the crockpot. Cover and cook on LOW or HIGH until the beans are warm.
Add a splash of liquid smoke for a nice smoky flavor in the cooked beans.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
