I made these beans in my Instant Pot and they turned out perfect! They were done in just a fraction of the time it would have taken to cook them on the stovetop.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made these beans without the ham. They were still really good! I added some extra vegetables, like carrots and celery, and they turned out great.

I made these beans exactly as the recipe said, but they turned out a little bland. I think I'll add more seasoning next time.

These beans were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.

I made these beans for a potluck and they were a huge success. Everyone loved them! I especially liked the addition of the smoked sausage, which gave the beans a really nice depth of flavor.

These pinto beans were a hit! They had a rich, smoky flavor and a perfect creamy texture. I served them with cornbread and collard greens, and it was a meal fit for a king.
