Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds green beans washed, trimmed, and I cut in half
  • 6 slices bacon diced
  • 1 small sweet onion diced
  • 1 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon season salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter unsalted

Instructions

  • Start by turning your Instant pot to saute. Then when the liner is hot, add in your bacon and cook your diced bacon. Once it is fully cooked, remove bacon and place on a paper towel. 
  • Remove all but around a tablespoon of the bacon grease. Then add in your onion, and return the bacon to the Instant pot. Cook for 1 minute. 
  • Turn the saute feature off, and then pour in the chicken broth. 
  • Now with a wooden spoon scrape the whole bottom of the pot. You need to remove any bacon pieces on the pot, or it will cause a burn notice when you pressure cook. 
  • Now you will add in your green beans, garlic powder, season salt, pepper, butter, and soy sauce. Place the lid on the pressure cooker and make sure the valve is set to seal. 
  • Cook for 5 minutes high pressure, and followed by a quick release. 
  • Give your Instant Pot green beans a stir and serve! 

Notes

For a firmer green bean cook for 3-4 minutes on cook time.
For a more well done green bean do 5-7 minutes on the cook time.
