Instant Pot Pinto Beans

These Instant Pot pinto beans are so simple to make and require no soaking! Just throw in your dried beans, some simple spices, a ham hock for meaty flavor, and in just a little over an hour you'll be rewarded with a big pot of pinto beans. So easy!

Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 pound pinto beans picked through and rinsed, dried
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1 (4 ounce) can green chiles chopped
  • 1 whole ham hock smoked
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. In your Instant pot add dried beans, chicken stock, green chiles, ham hock, onion, and bay leaf.
  2. Stir to combine.
  3. Add the lid to the Instant Pot to the pot and make sure the vent is in the "seal" position.
  4. Set the cooking time for manual high setting 40 minutes.
  5. Wait for the pressure to build, about 10 minutes, and cook for 40 minutes.
  6. Let the Instant Pot naturally release for 15 minutes.
  7. After 15 minutes carefully vent the Instant Pot and after the pressure is released remove the lid and give the beans a gentle stir.
  8. Remove the bay leaf from the pot.
  9. Take out the ham hock and cut off any of the meat that remains on the ham hock. I usually throw out the skin/fat part and just keep the chunks of meat.
  10. Add the meat back to the pot and serve the beans as a side dish or as a main course.
