Step 1

Thoroughly rinse the beans.

Step 2

Place beans in the Instant Pot and add all other ingredients.

Step 3

My first time to make the beans, I put the onion in whole (I just cut it in half). The second time, I threw in chopped onions and the onions stays in with the beans. I prefer this way, but if you are not an onion fan, you might just want to toss them in whole so you can strain it easier.

Step 4

Place the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure the valve is set to sealing.

Step 5

Set the pressure time to 50 minutes. I did a quick release but you can do the natural release too.

Step 6

Once they are cooked, use a slotted spoon to scoop out some of the mixture into another bowl. Begin to mash the beans with a potato masher (you could use an immersion blenderbut it is easy to do it by hand).

Step 7

Add liquids from the Instant as needed to get the consistency you prefer.

Step 8

You get to decide how “mushy” you want them. Continue to do this until all beans have been mashed.

Step 9

Then place the beans into containers for the freezer until ready to eat. 1 pound of dried beans will make about 4 “cans” of beans.

Step 10

When you are ready to eat, just thaw in your fridge and cook on low in a sauce pan, until heated through.
