Southern Pinto Beans

About the Recipe

Pinto beans can go great with cornbread, rice, or by themselves. You can also use them to make refried beans. They are easy to make and store well.

I always pressure-cook my beans. I never cook them on the stovetop. I pressure cook them to destroy the lectins, which can cause all kinds of problems. I use the Ninja Foodi as my pressure cooker and it does an amazing job. It is a multi-tool that you will always use.

When you pressure cook the beans, you don’t have to soak them overnight or at all. Simply put all the ingredients in the pressure cooker, and one and a half hours later, they are ready to eat.

Variations

You can cook these beans with bacon, or no meat at all. They are delicious all by themselves.

Equipment Needed

You will need a pressure cooker to cook the beans.
