Folks, you can have green beans that taste like Gramma’s cooked-all-day-long green beans in less than a half hour (pressure building time and all!). You’re gonna love these Instant Pot Green Beans!

How to Make Green Beans in an Instant Pot

Pour in all your ingredients in a 6-quart electric pressure cooker and stir. Place the lid on, seal it and make sure the vent is closed. Set it for 8 minutes on manual. Let it natural release. Stir and serve. Easy as it gets!

Instant Pot Green Beans Notes:

Cris had French Cut Green Beans on hand at her house, so that is what I used. When I made the crock pot version of this recipe, I used Italian Cut Green Beans. You can use whatever kind of cut is your favorite!

My grandma always made green beans in the pressure pan. Fresh beans, bacon and 3 minutes at 15 lbs of pressure. Heaven on earth especially if we had new potatoes at the same time.
