    I’ve done this…

    Or at least close enough.

    I took out the beans. Microwaved them. Added bootleg velveeta. Then rolled that up in a tortilla with some rice and hot sauce.

    I’m easy to please.

    One of the best things about having an instant pot is the ease of making refried beans from scratch. They’re fairly low effort, and so so much better (not to mention cheaper).

      1lb of dried beans with 48oz of any stock or broth for one hour on high pressure is my standard. then either mash or add in protein and aromatics and bake for an hour at 350 to get a nice flavorful crust to stir in mmm mmmm

        I inherited a cupboard full of beans meant for post apocalypse scavengers (No really my mom kept them so that post apocalypse scavengers could loot something from her house) anyway. I never cooked them bcs every recipe was like 24+ hours. This seems really interesting and I cant wait to try the recipe, thank you!

            She really did and itd be hilarious, “wait why do you have this” “Oh I got that on sale, I don’t plan on using it but it’ll last through an apocalypse, realistically I wont live, but someone scavenging my hosue they can find it and use it. Like a suprise treasure trove”

            me and my sister always just “okay…” yes she was a bit of a hoarder but not all of it was for her, also always kept water, blankets, mittens and some other stuff during the winter to hand out to anyone who seemed cold. Sweet, crazy, crazy soul. Loved, respected and feared in about equal measure by all that knew her.

            so if you want, think of the post apocalypse scavengers, leave some things that’ll survive an apocalypse that’ll be handy for a scavenger, you’ll make thier day.

          good luck! if you want to maximize your flavor sautee your protein and aromatics in the instant pot, transfer them out and deglaze with the stock before the cook too. the more maillard you can get in there the better they taste.
