Chop the bacon and peppers to your desired consistency and return them to the pot. Using a potato masher, gently mash some of the beans to thicken the broth to your liking. Serve hot and enjoy!

For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and use 2 tablespoons of olive oil to sauté the onions. Consider adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.
If you like a thicker bean broth, remove about a cup of the cooked beans and blend them in a blender or with an immersion blender. Then, stir the pureed beans back into the pot.
Leftover pinto beans can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
Serve these delicious pinto beans as a side dish, in burritos, or as a hearty filling for tacos.

    My family loved these beans! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and they were still amazing. Thanks for the great recipe!

  • Carolyne Walker

    I added a bay leaf to the pot before pressure cooking and it added a wonderful depth of flavor. Will definitely make this again!

  • Lucienne Frami

    This recipe is a game-changer! I always struggled with cooking dried beans, but the Instant Pot makes it so easy and the beans are so flavorful.
