Notes
Tips and Tricks for Instant Pot Green Beans and Bacon
- Sauté or no?: I don't usually sauté the bacon. I put in all the ingredients, and just set the pot for 4 minutes. Think of this as a faster version of boiled pork for seasoning.
- Crunchy or Tender: These green beans and bacon are falling-apart tender and full of flavor. If you like them crunchier, cook for 2 minutes under pressure. If you like them even softer, allow the pressure cooker to release pressure naturally for 10 minutes, and then release any remaining pressure--or just let it release pressure naturally all the way for even more well-cooked green beans.
- Other meats: You can also cut up small pieces of ham instead of bacon.
- Fresh or Frozen?: You can also use frozen green beans for this green beans and bacon recipe. You do not need to defrost the beans, nor do you need to increase the cooking time.
- No Pork: If you avoid pork, use chicken or beef sausage diced up into small pieces.
- Variations: If you want to make Instant Pot Green beans with Ham and Potatoes, use baby potatoes. Cut the potatoes into halves. Increase water to 1/2 cup. Use ham instead of bacon. Other than that, cook as directed.
