Instant Pot Baked Beans are a popular side dish for summer BBQs. Dried navy beans are pressure cooked until tender and coated in a classic sticky sauce made from molasses, ketchup, and seasonings.

Cecilia, a Pressure Cooking Today reader, asked me if I would post a pressure cooker baked beans recipe. Although you can make great baked beans with canned beans, cooking the dry beans from-scratch in the pressure cooker is easier, cheaper, and better tasting.

Update: I’ve updated this post with new photos and helpful tips about how to soak and cook perfect baked beans in the Instant Pot.
