Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound dried pinto beans
  • water for soaking beans
  • 1 ham hock/bone
  • 1/2 onion chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 6 to 8 cups of chicken broth

Instructions
 

  • Sift through the dry beans to remove any "bad" ones. Prep the dried pinto beans for soaking by placing them in a large bowl and covering completely with water. Place in the refrigerator overnight or 10 to 12 hours.
  • Drain the beans in a collander and add to the liner of the Instant Pot.
  • Cover with chicken broth to the 1/2 line of the Instant Pot liner, about 6 to 8 cups.
  • Add the onion, cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic and stir to combine.
  • Place the ham hock in the beans and press down so it is partially submerged.
  • Close the lid and seal the vent. Cook on high pressure for 1 hour. Let the pot naturally release for 15 minutes then manually release pressure.
