- 1 lb small bag pinto beans about 2 cups
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon garlic more if you love garlic
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Wash beans in a strainer. Add them to the instant pot. Pour in four cups beef broth.
Add in cumin, paprika, garlic, salt, and pepper. Give it a good stir. Place the lid on the instant pot.
Set the valve to the sealed position. Press the pressure cook or manual button and set time to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Once the instant pot stops counting and beeps release the pressure by opening the valve. Once the pressure has released and the pin has dropped open the lid.
Use an immersion blender to blend the beans. This will make them thick and creamy. Once blending if you feel like more liquid is need you can add a little water and blend. However, we do not add liquid and like the thickness and flavor of the beans from the broth alone.
