White Beans is something I grew up eating. My dad cooked white beans a lot. Beans can be prepared on the Stove, the Crockpot and now the infamous Instant Pot.
I have to be honest I didn’t like the Instant Pot at first. The more I used it, I realized that it had the ability to be a great asset to my cooking. Especially during busy seasons.
Today’s recipe is my Instant Pot Navy Pea Beans. Navy Pea Beans is a form of White beans but may not be the white beans that most of us grew up on which is the Great Northern Beans.
They are very similar but Great Northern Beans has a more nutty flavor. Where as a Navy Pea Beans is a white bean with a subtle flavor. I actually prefer the Navy Pea Beans.
