Pressure Cooker Ranch Style Beans

Submitted by good2bdunn

"I've been experimenting with my electric pressure cooker and decided to try my hand at beans. I chose a recipe on the Homesick Texan blog but needed to improvise on some of the ingredients. After throwing everything into the pot, I suddenly realized I'd doubled everything but the beans and water! What I ended up with was a pot of pure YUM! This is a very soupy bean recipe so serve it in a bowl and not on a plate! I served mine over rice! This is a healthy, low cost and delicious way to feed your family."

This is a good recipe. However, users should be aware that it is too big for a standard 4 quart pressure cooker. For ingredients that expand in cooking (beans and rice) the pot should not be more than half full.
