Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients

  • 8 cups great northern beans- soaked overnight 1 lb. dried
  • ½ large red onion- diced
  • 6 cloves garlic- minced
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup bbq sauce of choice I use a smokey garlic bbq sauce
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp harissa paste or hot sauce of choice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • 3 cups water

Instructions

  • Place all the ingredients in your Instant Pot and stir well. Cover and seal the lid.
  • Cook on high pressure (press PRESSURE COOK) for 15 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally, then let it sit on the KEEP WARM setting for 60 minutes. I like to let mine sit for as long as possible to let those flavors really develop. Mine take about 2 hours, start to finish.
  • Serve on top of crusty toast, baked potatoes, over rice, for breakfast with fried eggs and avocado, or however you like!
  • Allow leftovers to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge.
