I got this!!

These are so good you will want to eat them for dessert!


1 pound dried beans black, pinto, black eye,, any cheap bean ( Ill never use Lima or red )
1 lb thick cut bacon , 1" pieces buy the good stuff.
1 big onion , cut into large slices
2 cloves garlic , minced or more!
1/2 cup plain tomato sauce, paste ketchup or BBQ sauce ( Sweet baby Rays)
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons a 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon smoked paprika ( important) or a bit of liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt to taste ( I don't add salt)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 bay leaf or not

If people dont like the Snap ad a 1/2 stick of butter or add it anyway!


I use to pre-cook the beans then slow-cook all the ingredients together for 4-5 hours

Now I insta pot the beans for ten- 15 minutes and drain. then cook everything for 20-25 minutes more ( depending on beans and instapot) large beans take longer

Dude, once you start making your own beans from dry (pressure cooker or instapot) you will NEVER say that again.

I will circle around later with a recipe or three.

I believe you. I am all about from scratch when I can but man I have to draw the line somewhere. Just don't have the time so I have to pick my battles.

Pressure cooker will be a revelation. 15 minutes if beans got soaked a few hours. But I hear ya.

We cook our beans in either a pressure cooker or instapot. I like a firmer bean. Also, the beans have a better texture and flavor.

We add a little more bacon, and fresh peppers as we feel like. Sauté in a skillet with bacon bits to your satisfaction.

The great thing about making these is you can find your own path to final flavor. At get togethers and bbq's, Thanksgiving, or whatever, these beans get decimated.
