Pressure cooker black beans

This recipe is from my Grandma Carlson. When I make these beans I think of her. Her house was always filled with wonderful aromas! She was a fantastic cook! When she made them she would soak the beans overnight and cook for several hours during the day.

I love that I can have the same beans in less than an hour – starting with dry beans! She would have loved electric pressure cookers!

let's get cooking!

Rachelle's notes ♡

These beans are perfect as a side dish, or served with Pulled Pork Burritos!

If you soak the beans overnight, cook them on high temperature for 24 minutes.
