Pressure Cooker BBQ Baked Beans

These BBQ baked beans are so easy to make and are perfect for summer barbecues. They taste just like the ones mom used to make.

  A barbecue is not complete without baked beans. I used to make my baked beans in the slow cooker but that was an all-day affair as first I had to cook the beans and then it took more time to slow cook the beans into baked beans. The whole baked bean process could take 8-10 hours using a slow cooker. Sure I could buy those cans of baked beans, but homemade tastes so much better. So, since I recently acquired a pressure cooker, I just had to try making my baked bean recipe in it as I knew that the pressure cooker would cook those BBQ Beans so much quicker.

  My inspiration to make BBQ baked beans came from a box of sauces that I was sent. I was sent these wonderful cocoa-based sauces from The Cocoa Exchange and I just knew that some of them would be perfect in my homemade BBQ baked beans. I also need a side dish for our 4th of July BBQ. The Pod & Bean portfolio of sauces from The Cocoa Exchange has these amazing seasonings that give your food a unique depth of flavor.  I just knew that the Kansas City BBQ Sauce and the Stone Ground Mustard from The Cocoa Exchange would give my BBQ beans a unique taste. 

 My BBQ Baked Beans tasted so good. The thick, sweet-spicy Kansas City BBQ sauce gave my beans a nice mild kick of heat. I licked the spoon after I added the Stone Ground Mustard and knew that this mustard would be great with a slice of my soft pretzel bread.  Whoever thought of adding rich cocoa to sauces was one smart person. The cocoa just gives these sauces a wonderful taste.

 This delicious bean recipe uses dried beans and is a meatless recipe. It is a great way to make a meal from uncooked beans. It is the perfect potluck recipe and is a vegan recipe. Beans are an excellent source of plant-based protein so this bean recipe could be the main dish of a vegetarian meal or a delicious side dish for your favorite hunk of meat that you cooked on the grill. I don't know about you but BBQ baked beans are a favorite summer recipe but this meatless recipe can be enjoyed year-round.

 Don't worry if you don't have these amazing sauces as you can use your favorite barbecue sauce in this easy recipe. Any flavor of BBQ sauce will work. I like using honey BBQ sauce in my baked beans when I want a sweeter version of barbecue baked beans.

No pressure cooker?

 If you do not have a pressure cooker, then you can use a slow cooker to make this amazing plant-based recipe. Just place the beans in the slow cooker and cover them with plenty of water so the water is a couple inches higher than the beans. Cook the dried beans on high for 6 hours. Then drain the water and add the rest of the ingredients and cook on high for 3-4 hours so the beans can soak up all the flavors of the sauce.
