Baked Beans

I love my pressure cooker, especially for beans.  These are super easy and versatile.  I hope to never buy canned again!


INGREDIENTS
1 pound dried northern beans
8 strips of bacon, uncooked, chopped
1 small onion, diced
2 ½ cups vegetable stock
½ cup molasses
½ cup ketchup
¼ cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons spicy brown
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Place beans in pot and cover with water, at least one inch above beans.  Set to 16 minutes on manual mode.  Let pressure release naturally.  Do not salt these.  It will make the skins tough.  When done, remove beans and rinse.  Set aside.
Using the same setting, cook chopped bacon and onions until translucent. Add broth.
You could do this in a separate pan but then you wouldn't get that extra flavor from the brown bits left in the bottom after cooking the bacon. You also have one less dish to wash.
Add molasses, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper to the onions in the pot and stir to combine. Add beans.  Set a pressure cooker to 45 minutes on manual setting.
Another option is to add browned ground meat such as pork or sausage.
