Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb Navy Beans or Great Northerns
- 4 oz Tasso diced
- 4 oz Salted Picnic Pork rinsed and diced
- 1 Yellow Onion diced
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- ½ Tablespoon Onion Powder
- ½ Tablespoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Large Bay Leaf or 2 small
- 5 Cups Chicken Broth low sodium
Instructions
- Once all your onions and salted meats have been diced add all ingredients to the instant pot.
- Pour in the chicken broth and give the ingredients a good stir.
- Lock the lid into place and make sure the valve is pointed to "sealing".
- Press the Beans/Chili button (if yours has one) or press Pressure Cook for 30 minutes.
- After the 30 minutes is up allow the instant pot to release the pressure naturally for 15-20 minutes. After that switch the valve to "Venting".
Notes
- Depending on how creamy you like your white beans you can smush some of the beans against the side of the instant pot to create a creamier texture.
- Sometimes that salted pork can be more salty than usual. Wash the pork to rinse under cold water, it will help.
- I am a firm believer that one bean is superior to another. I prefer the Camellia brand over any other!
- We like to use Navy Beans for our white beans recipe, a lot of other folks prefer Great Northerns - they're a bigger bean and have a slightly nuttier flavor. I like them either way... but those small white beans are our favorite.
