I hope you enjoy this video.

Don't pay any attention to the negative comments. I live in Kentucky where we are taught manners. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. This was a lovely video and you did great. I was raised on "soup beans" and corn bread. I have never seen the great northern and pintos combined. How cool. Of course I can mix them myself. I will try this. Please keep making videos and ignore the rude people. It's your kitchen and you can do what you want. I think you are great!

[@rav94en]

Finally! Someone who knows how to make a pot of beans, country style. I'm from West Virginia; grew up on beans, fried potatoes, polk greens, ramps, and cathead biscuits & cornbread. Salt, black pepper, and ham hock is all you need for beans.

[@SandrasKitchen]

Same here. I grew up on it as well. Thanks for stopping by and watching!

[@crystaldawn722]

I'm from WV also and this is what's in my IP right now!

[@shaftomite007]

Ramp Festival, anyone?

[@tara8987]

I can't tell you how many videos I had to go through to find someone who knows how to make beans.....and knows that we want a broth am not just a pile of dry bean. Great job

[@SandrasKitchen]

I dont think some people have had "good beans" lol Thank you for the kind comment!

[@Breezy.Anderson]

I love beans . My grandmother grew up in West Virginia. She made an awesome cornbread and beans . If she were here today she would be amazed at how quickly she could make a pot of beans. I would go to her house and smell the beans cooking in her crock pot and I would get excited. I would take long walks with my grandmother picking berries while she would sing songs to me . She grew up during the Great Depression . She once told me she got just a single present for Christmas one time . A Hershey’s candy bar. She was so exited telling me the story and how she and a friend shared it . I miss my grandmother everyday. I’d give anything to sit and eat a bowl of her beans with her and some of that beautifully browned cornbread. Thanks for sharing how to make your beans with us.

[@SandrasKitchen]

I love to read comments like yours Breezy. I miss mine as well. We are so very blessed even in these troubling and tough times we live in. Thank you for commenting. I had two grandmothers that made a large impact on my life. Beans was the main course for most meals.

[@davidbowser5534]

Took clicking on a few different videos to find the right one. The first couple were people that talked with yankee accents. Then I found this nice lady who spoke my language.

[@SandrasKitchen]

Ha! Thank you David!

[@avibonn5724]

What a sweet woman. I love your calm spirit and quiet voice. Your beans came out looking very delicious. Thank you for your video. I'm going to be making these in my instant pot soon.

[@SandrasKitchen]

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy!

[@TheBigfoot567]

You gotta love a good Southern lady that knows how to cook. Born in N Carolina here, but raised in Texas. Our Instapot just arrived today from Amazon.... maybe I'll make these beans while my wife's at work one day. (Retired here). Great video, thanks Ma'am!!!

[@SandrasKitchen]

Thank you Bill! I hope you enjoy!

[@bumbaclot813]

Saw someone dump the beans right into the pot without cleaning........ lol. This is proof enough! Great video, great prep! You're awesome!

[@SandrasKitchen]

Thank you! I can't imagine not washing them first.

[@sharonholland6608]

I love my Instant Pot. In fact, I have a pot of soup beans on now. It's funny, I soaked my beans overnight for the first time, but I have no problem with doing the dry bean method. I always enjoy watching how others use their Instant Pot. I watch KZbin every day and I really appreciate people sharing their recipes and the way they do things. By the way, I live in Southern Indiana. I'm only 15-20 miles from Louisville, Kentucky. Thanks for your video.

[@SandrasKitchen]

That is awesome! I live in the Eastern part of KY. Thank you for your positive comment. I am making soup beans today myself! lol I certainly don't know the best way or the perfect way to do everything but I do my best. Thank you so much for visiting my channel 🙂💖

[@bebebutterfield1]

My mother was born and raised in Kentucky. She always said if you keep pinto beans in your cupboard you will never go hungry. Nice video and thanx for sharing.

[@SandrasKitchen]

I have to agree with your mom. As I grew up pinto beans was a staple in my home as well. Thank you for the comment and watching!

[@a.decasas5427]

Same here

[@quarterhorsgirl]

My mama loved Pinto Beans. We always had them and a pressure cooker. I remember when I was a teen we had pinto beans and hoecake for Thanksgiving dinner. Times were tough but we ate.

[@allylamar2963]

bebebutterfield1 so true i have about 4 bags in my kitchen

[@Makmurf]

I am from KY too. I crave pinto beans and corn bread. I remember hearing that as long as you have pinto beans you will never go hungry.

[@didntdrown]

I just ordered my first instant pot and was looking for recipes when I came across your video. Great job!!, gave me some good ideas, and I eat a lot of beans along with my meats. As a small farmer, I'm in the field or the shed constantly and needed a way to set it and forget it. Thanks for making the video Sandra.

[@SandrasKitchen]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@hhjames9139]

My grandmother (born in 1884 on a farm in Kentucky) would always say, "Look your beans. You have to look your beans". I thought it was a waste of time until I bit down on a stone one night in a plate of pintos.

[@1Mhoram9]

Yup 👍

[@SandrasKitchen]

That is the worst! lol

I really learned how to clean dry beans, from this video😂

[@cindymaddux3507]

OMG SO MANY NEGATIVE COMMENTS. If you don't like the way she picked through her beans or what she seasoned it with or how much water she used then MAKE YOUR OWN DAMN VIDEOS. Geeze, some people just don't know how to be polite anymore.

[@SandrasKitchen]

Amen! Preach it! lol

[@kristiforrest7476]

I think people get really brave and judgmental behind a keyboard. If they’re searching for recipes then they clearly don’t know everything. Ignore them. You do a GREAT job with your videos. I’ve made several of your recipes and nobody died or got pregnant.😉. They turned out fantastic. If I don’t like a flavor or texture, I just tweak it or go on to the next recipe. What a concept!!!

[@funyunmaker3182]

I agree as a 50 year old gentleman who was raised on beans and corn bread and just got a instant pot I enjoy trying these recipes.

[@SandrasKitchen]

Exactly Kristi. People sometimes are so rude on here. There are times that it has crossed my mind to delete my whole channel because of the negativity. No one sees the struggle behind the camera. Trying to over come the nervousness of being on video for the whole world to set and judge you. The struggle of coming up with new content that may be of interest to my viewers. Overcoming some of the hurtful things that people have said. The struggle and frustration of having to repeat the same sentence over and over to get it to come out right lol. They also don't see the cost involved into having a youtube channel or the hours spent at a desk editing video. I could really go on and on lol. Instead they get to click on my video and watch it no strings attached and no stress involved. I've never promoted myself as a professional. I'm just a simple country woman from KY cooking in her kitchen. I enjoy cooking and sharing with others and nothing more or less. I'm sorry for typing a page worth of text for a reply but I want you to know that I appreciate your kind words and encouragement. People like you are the only reason why I have hung in there this far. Thank you!

[@SandrasKitchen]

@@funyunmaker3182 Thank you. That is what the whole purpose of youtube is. I have learned so much myself from other peoples videos. Thank you for watching!

[@KnightOnBaldMountain]

Ah, someone who actually rinses beans before cooking. 👍 I’ve watched others dump a bag of beans straight in the pot. Also, I like the idea of mixing my two favorite types of beans. I never did that before.

[@SandrasKitchen]

This is the only way I make mine. Thanks for watching!

[@1Mhoram9]

Golly I would never do that put unrinsed beans straight into the pot. I would not want to eat those beans even though the cooking killed and sanitized whatever May have been in or on them. I have broken a tooth from An unpopped popcorn kernal so I would be afraid of small pebble.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

I love beans. THanks for the recipe.

[@SandrasKitchen]

My pleasure 😊

[@rockyofusa1]

Thank you after the cook in our family died, (the kitchen was off limits, my husband was a great cook, I was so stupid not to learn how to even shop) so luckily I have people like you to help me keep from starving I'm a horrible cook.

Where there is a will there is a way. Thats one of the great things about KZbin. We can find out how to do just about everything :)

Hi Sandra, I’m new here and I am so glad you didn’t allow other folk negativity decide to delete. I’m new to the instapot just learning how to use it. This recipe is simple and to the point. I’m using a smoked turkey leg. And I will be making Chili. Thanks Sandra

You wash your beans like I do, great video.

Thats how I was taught. Thank you :)

[@patrickdurham8393]

Been using the instant pot for over a year and never thought of cooking beans in it. Thanks for the video. Cooked a pot of pinto beans with a nice smoked ham hock and it was wonderfully soupy and smoky and it didn't take all day!

[@SandrasKitchen]

So good!

[@1Mhoram9]

So I rinsed my pinto beans and then put them into the pot with leftover smoked pulled pork and hit the beans button. I did it this way because I want to see how the automatic bean feature does. My husband really likes beans and they are so good for you.

I love beans as well. I hope they turned out great which I'm sure they did. These IP's are great!

omg you worked magic lol i will find these types of beans for now on

Thank you! Sometimes I have to buy the pinto's and white northern beans separately and then mix them together. Usually at Walmart you can find the combo bags that have both though. They work so well together!

That’s a good lookin bowl of beans. I’m going to definitely have to try putting great northern in with my pinto beans in my next pot. Thank you for sharing your recipe. I really enjoyed watching this.😊

Wow! What a simple recipe! And from the comments and other southern folk seems like this is the way to make them for a delicious pot! Im Puertorican and was born and raised in Pennsylvania...we put many more ingredients in our beans..we do use either ham or fatback and use potato as our thickner in the beans. I just completed a crosscountry roadtrip through the U.S. and went through KY on the way west. I so wanted to stop for a meal but i had no time. 😔 I'm new to the instant pot ( my son got it for me for xmas), and that's how i came across your video...this looks great, and i'm going to try it your way! I love my Puertorican beans but hey, less ingredients, i'm in!! 👍😁 thank you! I can't wait!

[@SandrasKitchen]

[@Ben-vk4us]

No criticism here. We just do it slightly different in our part of the woods. I prefer to use a smoked ham hock with a little thyme a couple of bay leaves and sage. I look for a large ham hock and take the meat off the bone after cooking and add it to the beans. I love the smoky flavor of the ham hock. Yummy! Other than that, everything's just perfect. We have had the Instant Pot for about a year and a half now and use it all the time. Making bean soup from scratch in less than 2 hours is great. Sure beats the old way of soaking the beans all night.

[@SandrasKitchen]

I agree. I love my Instant Pot. I have also used a smoked ham hock as well and yes they work nicely for adding flavor to the beans. Thanks for sharing!

I have seen some people on YT say they soak the beans overnight and they turn out better in the Instant Pot.

I don't know if either of those methods are true, as I am much better at eating than cooking : ) Thanks for sharing the vid.

Columbo that’s what my mom did. She’d put them on the kitchen table with a strainer in her lap and pick out the dirt balls and beans broken in half and put the good in her lap.

I make my pintos the same except. I saute onions and a diced jalapeno with bacon (to render the fat).. THEN i cook the beans for 35 minutes high pressure.. and simmer after manual pressure release...for another 20 to 30 minutes.. makes for a perfect pot of pintos.. I donot add white beans at all.. If want white beans or navy I make them separate ... Pintos are great by themselves with corn bread.. YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Going to go make some pinto beans in my pressure cooker now. I have a ham bone and scraps from a sale ham that I got last week I portioned out.

Those work great for flavor. Thanks for watching!

I just found you and I love you. Subscribed. 💜

Thank you - loved your video - could anyone tell me how long I can keep this pintos in the refrigerator that has pork meat in with the beans?

[@stellaSOreal]

Your beans look perfect!! I'm a few yrs late to the IP game but glad I finally got one. I love that you turned it to sautee at the end; I watched a couple videos before this and they didn't do that. Also love that you added a pork chop to yours! I always use country ham pcs that come in a pack - I use em for greens too. There have been times when I couldn't find ham & I feel like a dummy for not throwing a pork chop in! 💗 Anyway, just wanted to give you props. Can I come eat? 😂

[@SandrasKitchen]

Awesome! Thank you! Dinner's almost ready!

What size is your Insta Pot in this video? On a stove, I usually use 12 cups water to 1 lb dried beans, can I use this same ratio to pressure cook in a 3 qt insta pot, or is yours a 6 qt? Thanks in advance.

[@SandrasKitchen]

This is the 6 qt Insta Pot. I'm thinking it would be a little crowded for 12 cups of water but you probably could use a little less water and still have great results.
