📝 Preparation Steps
1
Slice the smoked sausage into medallions. Add the olive oil and sliced sausage to the multi-function pressure cooker or a skillet and sauté the sausage until it is brown on both sides (about ⏱️ 5 minutes). Once the sausage is well browned, remove it from the pot with a slotted spoon.
olive oil ($0.13)1 Tbsp
2
While the sausage is browning, finely dice the onion, bell pepper, and celery, and mince the garlic. After removing the sausage, add the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the pot and continue to sauté for another five minutes, or until the onions are soft and transparent. The moisture from the vegetables should dissolve the browned bits off the bottom of the pot.

3
Rinse and sort through the beans to remove any bad beans or debris. Add the beans to the pot along with the cooked sausage, thyme, oregano, paprika, cayenne, some freshly cracked pepper (about 20 cranks of a pepper mill), chicken broth, and water. Stir to combine.
dried thyme ($0.10)1 tspdried oregano ($0.10)1 tspchicken broth ($0.39)3 cupswater ($0.00)2 cups
4
Secure the lid on the pressure cooker and close the vent. Cook on high pressure for ⏱️ 35 minutes (either use the manual button or bean/chili button on the Instant Pot and increase time to ⏱️ 35 minutes), then let the pot naturally release pressure as it cools. Test the beans to make sure they're extremely soft. If they're not soft yet, re-secure the lid, close the vent, and cook for an additional ⏱️ 20 minutes on high power.
5
Once the beans are very soft, stir and smash the beans agains the side of the pot with the back of a large spoon until the liquid thickens. Taste and add salt as needed (start with a teaspoon and add more until the flavors pop).
