I made red beans and rice the other day and shared it on my Instagram stories and got so many requests for the recipe! This was really easy to make… you basically cook it all in the Instant Pot and let it finish the cooking for you.

This was really hearty and comforting after a long, cold day. Perfect for those snowy nights! I like it too because it’s full of wholesome ingredients, plus it has lots of flavor. It has a little spice, which I like. I will say, the beans were a little undercooked for my taste, so I will add 10 minutes to the overall cook time the next time I make this.
