Notes
How to Quick Soak: Add the beans to your Instant Pot with 3 cups of water and 1 Tbsp of salt. Bring to a boil using the saute setting. Once the water is boiling then quickly cover the pressure cooker and and turn valve to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 2 minutes. When time is up slowly move valve to venting. If foam escapes then move valve back to sealing for 20 seconds and try again. Remove the lid. Then rinse and drain the beans and use them in the recipe.
How to make with canned beans: Heat a pan on the stove over medium high heat and add a bit of oil (about 1 ½ tsp) into the pan. Brown the sliced sausage for 2 minutes on each side. Rinse and drain 2 cans of navy beans. Add them into the pan. Stir in the other ingredients and heat through. Serve and enjoy.
