Quick and Easy Pressure Cooker Pinto Beans

If you're like me, there's nothing like a good pot of pinto beans to warm you right down to the cockles of your soul. However, I don't always want to wait for them to cook all day on the stove top. That's when I pull out my trusty Power Pressure Cooker XL.

1-lb rinsed & sorted dry beans
1 link of sausage sliced
1 diced onion
1 tblsp. minced garlic
1 pkt. taco seasoning mix
black pepper to taste
1 tsp. olive oil

Place all ingredients in cooking insert of a 6-qt. pressure cooker. Next add 7 c. water. Place lid on and close vent. Cook on BEAN setting for 45 minutes.  They are flavorful and so creamy in texture.
