With my Instant Pot, I didn't need to babysit a pot of Great Northern Beans on the stove top all day. A quick rinse and sort, a 7-hour soak, and 10 minutes of cooking in the Instant Pot and the beans were tender and flavorful. You can certainly add smoked sausage or a ham hock to the beans while they cook. For this batch, I added about a T. of ham base.
1 lb. Great Northern Beans, rinsed and picked over to remove any debris
water to cover
1 T. ham base (Better than Bouillon brand)
Place beans in a large glass bowl and cover with water. Soak overnight or several hours. Drain water.
Place beans in Instant Pot. Cover with water by about 2 inches. Add 1 T. ham base.
Place the Instant Pot cover on, lock the lid, and set the pressure valve to steam. Set the cooking time for 10 minutes on high pressure.
When time is up, press "cancel" and let the steam naturally release. When the pressure has been fully released, carefully remove the lid with it facing away from you. Serve these delicious beans over your favorite cornbread.
They look delicious
