Instant Pot Black Beans

These Instant Pot Black Beans are not only super simple to make, but they also have a great flavor as well. And the best part? No more waiting hours for your beans to be cooked! Using the Instant Pot makes bean cooking a total breeze!

We eat beans quite a bit in our family because they’re a simple recipe that packs a lot of great nutrients. (plus, they’re affordable and tasty, too!) While you can easily make up beans to add to awesome dishes like tacos or burritos, you can also just cook them up to have as a simple side dish as well.

I also don’t think that you have to wait for Taco Tuesday to make up these bad boys. They’re tasty at any time of the day and are a great source of protein.

This bean recipe literally has only 7 ingredients (yippee!) and three simple steps to make them happen. Who doesn’t have time for that?! (Can I just let you know that I have no idea how I cooked anything before we bought out Instant Pot? It’s literally my best friend in the kitchen!)

Anytime I can let my Instant Pot take over and do all the hard work for me, I’ll happily take off my chef hat and step aside.

Toppings like sour cream, chives, and cilantro can give this dish a whole other flavor!

You can also use a chicken or a vegetable stock in place of the water to try to add in a little more flavor as well.
