Crockpot Cooking Method:
- Give everything a quick stir and cook on low for 6-8 hours. or high for 4-6 hours
Instant Pot Cooking Method:
- Give the surface a quick stir. (I have found the beans sink to the bottom and burn if they are on the bottom.) Set the Instant pot to custom, high pressure, 18 mins, and make sure the vent is sealed.
