Ingredients
  • 1cup great northern beansdried
  • 5cups Waterdivided
  • 1teaspoon olive oil
  • 1medium onionchopped
  • 1/2cup ketchup
  • 1/4cup molasses
  • 1/4cup dark brown sugar
  • 1teaspoon salt
  • 1teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
  1. Cover the dried beans with 4 cups of water and soak overnight, then drain and set aside. (For the quick-soak method, place rinsed beans in the instant pot with 6 cups of water and cook on manual at high pressure for 15 minutes, making sure the valve is in the sealing position.) Allow to vent naturally for 10 minutes before releasing the pressure. Drain and set aside.
  2. Using the Sauté function, heat the olive oil in the pot and add the onion. Sauté for about 3 minutes, until the onion starts to become translucent. Add the beans to the pot.
  3. In a small bowl mix together the ketchup, molasses, brown sugar, and seasonings. Pour over the beans and onions. Add 1 cup of water.
  4. Set the pot to Manual and adjust to high pressure, making sure the valve is in the sealing position. Adjust the time for 40 minutes.
  5. When finished, allow the steam to vent naturally for 10 minutes, then quick release the rest of the pressure by turning the valve to venting. Test a couple of beans to make sure they are tender. If not, repeat the process for about 5 more minutes.
  6. When safe to open, switch the pot to sauté and reduce the sauce for about 5 minutes to thicken. Enjoy!
