Notes

  • For a more flavorful dish, you can soak the beans overnight before cooking.

  • To make the beans even more flavorful, add a teaspoon of brown sugar or molasses.
  • Serve the beans with your favorite sides, such as cornbread, rolls, or vegetables.

Here are some additional tips from Foodie Mike:

  • If you want to make the beans even more flavorful, you can add a ham hock or bacon to the pot when you cook them.
  • If you don’t have 6 cups of water, you can use a combination of water and broth.
  • To make the beans ahead of time, cook them according to the instructions, then let them cool completely. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to serve, reheat the beans in the Instant Pot or on the stovetop.
