Ingredients

  • 32 oz Dry Black Beans rinsed and sorted
  • 3 1/2 Tablespoons Garlic Powder
  • 3 Tablespoons Better than Bouillon Chicken Soup Base
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cumin
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Pepper

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in the Instant Pot and fill with water to the 1/2 line inside the pot.
  • Lock the lid into place and set the pot to the [Bean/Chili] setting for 25 minutes. You may also use the Manual or Pressure Cook Setting for 30 minutes.
  • Once the cooking is finished, allow the pressure to naturally release. This will take about 20 minutes.

Notes

This recipe makes 8 cups of beans which is 16 half-cup servings. Also, if you don't love the smell of cumin and beans inside your kitchen (because who does?) I suggest setting your Instant Pot outside while it cooks and releases pressure. Of course, if the weather is poor, you will just have to enjoy this process inside.
Also, these beans freeze and reheat very well. For smaller portions, pour into muffin tins and freeze. Once frozen, store in an airtight freezer bag.
