I always add a can of Rotel tomatoes (tomatoes and green chilies) to both pintos and navy beans in the IP. It adds some sweet tomato and heat to the batch.

I doubled this last night (1# pinto beans) in a 6 qt I.P. and it’s delicious. This is the one that goes in my file and I’ll never have to look for a ‘better’ recipe…this is the best! I didn’t have Mexican oregano but found that Marjoram is a great substitute.

In reply to Pamela. Hi Pamela, it should be sealed on the Pressure Cook setting.

Hello! Looking forward to making these. Is the instapot on venting or sealing for this? Thanks

In reply to Jeanine Donofrio. No! I was going to try cooking 2 pounds of beans, but instant pot says not to as the beans won't stay submerged and could actually be dry....not moist and creamy. I have 2 6quart instant pots, so may just divide them, in order to have extra beans for other recipes.

These were delicious! I also added 1/4 medium yellow onion diced and a bay leaf. This was an excellent side dish.
