    An easy way to make delicious BBQ Baked Beans in your Instant Pot. Simple and delicious!
     
    Instant Pot BBQ Baked Beans

    Since I love Baked Beans and love my Instant Pot, it was a no brainer for me to make these Instant Pot BBQ Baked Beans.

    While this recipe does require you to soak the beans for a minimum of 8 hours, the rest is easy peasy. While most pressure cooker recipes don't take as long as this one does, it's well worth the wait. Trust me.

    My research tells me that pre-soaking the beans is not required so I plan on making another batch soon without pre-soaking and reporting back on how it turns out.

    Some of you may be wondering where the "BBQ" comes into play. Well, that's where the ketchup, molasses, maple syrup, and brown sugar comes into play.

    The result is delicious BBQ flavored baked beans. When I finally released the pressure from the Instant Pot, The whole kitchen filled up with a delicious smell of baked beans and maple syrup!

    Instant Pot BBQ Baked Beans

    I usually make my baked beans in the crockpot but I really wanted to make baked beans in my Instant Pot. I am on a quest to make just about everything I can in my Instant Pot.

    If you don't already have an Instant Pot, you need to get one. If anything just so you can make this recipe or whatever tickles your fancy in my Instant Pot collection of recipes.

    💭 Instant Pot Pressure Cooker

    The Instant Pot is a combination pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer with a few other capabilities. With an Instant Pot, you can make some recipes in minutes compared to hours the traditional way. While not always the case, it's a very handy appliance if you are always on the run.

    The Instant Pot comes with several safety features. If you happen to encounter an error message on the display of your IP, I suggest you visit Instant Pot's Official Customer Care Center.

    If you frequently use your Instant Pot Pressure Cooker, you've probably experienced a "smelly" lid. Here's a simple way to get rid of the smell.

    Fill the Instant Pot with 2 Cups of White Vinegar. Seal the lid. Use the steam setting for 2 minutes. Remove the rubber ring from the lid and let dry completely before using it.

    🥓 How to Make Bacon

    If you struggle to make bacon perfectly, I've put together a short tutorial on How to Make Perfect Bacon - 3 Ways. Check it out! My preferred method is baking it in the oven.

    And don't throw away that bacon grease! Bacon is expensive and the grease is great for making Scrambled Eggs, Grilled Cheese, Popcorn and even hash browns. It can keep up to 3 months if properly stored in the refrigerator.

    Please check out my other Side Dish Recipes, especially if you don't have an Instant Pot yet! I suggest you also check out my Slow Cooker Boston Baked Beans, my Slow Cooked Baked Beans or my Root Beer Baked Beans.
