Directions

  1. Pour pinto beans in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for 12 hours. Drain beans and rinse.

  2. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add bacon and shallots and cook until bacon is crisp and shallots soft, about 5 minutes. Drain and discard excess grease.

  3. Pour chicken broth into the pot and bring to a boil. Deglaze the pot, scraping up browned bits from the bottom. Mix in paprika, mustard, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Add brown sugar, ketchup, maple syrup, and Worcestershire sauce, mix to combine. Add drained pinto beans and Korean barbecue sauce and combine well. Cancel Saute mode. Close and lock the lid. Seal vent. Select Beans/Chili setting according to manufacturer's instructions. Set timer for 60 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  4. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove lid, stir beans, and check for doneness, beans should be soft. If more time is needed, close Instant Pot® again and pressure cook on \"Manual\" mode for an additional 20 minutes.

Recipe Note

These baked beans are made with Korean BBQ sauce and cooked long enough under pressure, with bacon, to develop a lovely smoky flavor.
