Simple Instant Pot Refried Beans
Equipment
- 1 Instant pot
- Potato masher
Ingredients
- Pinto beans (whichever amount you choose)
- Kosher salt or sea salt Salt to taste
- Water
Instructions
- Pour desired amount of pinto beans into instant pot
- Fill pot with water a few inches over the pinto beans (it’s better to have too much than not enough, worst case you’ll have lots of bean broth)
- Sprinkle salt liberally over beans and water.
- Put the lid on securely and ensure the cap is sealed.
- Set the cooking time to 55 min on manual with high pressure setting.
- When the cook time is up let it naturally release for 15 minutes then you can quick release remaining pressure.
- At this point, you can eat them as is or smash them and serve!
Notes
If you’d like to save them for later you can remove the pot from heat and allow them to cool. Then put them into a ziploc bag with a some extra bean broth to place in the fridge for use within a few days or freeze them for up to 6 months! To reheat, simply bring them to simmer in a pan on the stove top.
(if frozen, run under hot water to loosen up then heat into pan).
