Pinto beans and ham is a classic combination that has been around for a long time. It's a hearty dish that is packed with protein, fiber, and flavor. And it's a great way to use up leftover ham. But if you’re looking for a way to make this classic dish even easier, try making it in an Instant Pot.

This Instant Pot Pinto Beans and Ham recipe is a quick and easy way to make a delicious, nutritious meal. It requires minimal prep time, and the Instant Pot does the rest. All you need to do is add all the ingredients, set the timer, and wait for a tasty meal. And the best part is that it’s perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.

Prep Time

This recipe takes about 5 minutes of prep time. All you need to do is measure out the ingredients, chop the ham, and add everything to the Instant Pot.

Cook Time

The Instant Pot does the rest of the work for you. It takes about 25 minutes for the pressure cooker to cook the pinto beans and ham. Then you need to let the pressure release naturally, which takes about 10 minutes. So the total cook time is about 35 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound dry pinto beans, rinsed and sorted
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 pound cooked ham, diced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: diced jalapenos, diced tomatoes, diced bell peppers

Instructions

  • Add the pinto beans, chicken broth, onion, garlic, chili powder, and cumin to the Instant Pot. Stir to combine.
  • Secure the lid and set the pressure release to “sealing”. Press the “manual” button and set the timer for 25 minutes.
  • Once the timer is up, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully turn the pressure release to “venting” to release any remaining pressure.
  • Open the lid and stir in the diced ham. Taste and adjust the seasonings, if desired.
  • Optional: For a bit of extra flavor, you can add some diced jalapenos, diced tomatoes, or diced bell peppers to the beans.
  • Serve the beans and ham with some crusty bread and enjoy!

Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Wooden spoon

Notes

If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you can make this recipe on the stovetop. Just add all the ingredients to a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 1 hour or until the beans are tender. Then stir in the diced ham and serve.
