Instant Pot Southern-Style Green Beans
Let me tell y’all something, these Instant Pot Southern Green Beans taste like they’ve been simmering on Grandma’s stove all day, but they’re ready in a fraction of the time. The Instant Pot locks in all that smoky, seasoned flavor so every bite tastes like Sunday dinner. We’re talking tender green beans cooked down with bacon, onions, and spices. This is the shortcut your grandma would’ve approved of (after tasting it, of course).
