Notes
*I used uncured applewood smoked bacon.
**If using older beans, you may need to add up to 10 minutes of additional time.
-2 tbsp. diced green chiles make a great addition to these beans.
STORE the Instant Pot Pinto Beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days. To FREEZE them, simply place them in freezer-safe bags or containers for up to 3 months.
To REHEAT, thaw in the refrigerator if frozen, then warm them in a saucepan over medium heat or in the microwave, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
