1 onion cut in half, or 2 teaspoons onion powder

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Add all of the ingredients except the salt to the pressure cooker pot; lightly stir.
Secure the lid and turn pressure release knob to a sealed position. Cook at high pressure for 35 minutes (see note below on cook time).
When cooking is complete, use a natural release.
Remove and discard onion and bay leaves.
Strain some of the water (I like to leave some so the beans stay moist)
Stir in 1 teaspoon salt, taste and add up to another 2 teaspoons if desired.
Serve hot.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze flat in freezer safe ziplocks for up to 6 months.

Notes

1 1/2 cups of homemade black beans equals one 15 ounce can of beans
Cook 30 minutes for firm, 35 minutes for soft with bite, 40 for very soft
