Equipment

Ingredients

  • 8 cups water
  • 1 pounded dry navy beans rinsed
  • 1 1/2 cups water divided
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/3 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 pound bacon chopped
  • 1 small onion diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add the water and the beans to the pot of the Instant Pot. Turn the knob to seal. Cook on manual on high pressure for 15 minutes, then let the pressure release for 20 minutes. Quick release the remaining pressure. Drain the beans and rinse with cold water.
