This is a delicious pinto bean recipe, from dried beans (no soaking) to "done" in 50 to 55 minutes, depending on your pressure cooker. If you're a bean lover like I am, you will enjoy this recipe or adjust it to suit yourself and use the spices of your choice.
The easiest way to judge the amt. of water is to double it from the cups of beans you use: 2 cups dried beans=4 cups of water, 4 cups of beans=8 cups of water and so on. They'll turn out perfect everytime!! My recipe is below:
3 cups dried pinto beans that you've washed
1 tbsp. olive oil or bacon drippings
SPICES
2 tsp. onion powder
2 tsp. chili powder (I used Mexican)
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. ground pepper (fresh if possible)
1-1/2 tsp. salt
1 tblsp. liquid smoke
Water to cover 2 inches above beans or for 3 cups of beans use 6 cups of water (it's easier to measure that way)
Place the oil or bacon drippings in bottom of the pc
Add the washed 3 cups of pinto beans
Add enough water to cover the beans by 2 inches
Add all the spices & give it a stir
Place lid on making sure it's on properly
When it comes to pressure and the pressure regulator is "jiggling" start the timer for 50 to 55 minutes.
Lower the temp on stove until you have a gentle jiggle of the regulator.
When timer goes off, carefully move the pc to the sink and run cold water on the lid until the pressure release valve drops (you can safely remove the pressure gauge at this time)
Open the cooker away from you, stir your finished beans and enjoy!!
