Since a formula for red beans and rice is an absolute necessity have in each veggie lover kitchen! What's more, obviously, I need to utilize my convenient dandy Instant Pot for a speedier formula. This tasty staple formula is made with dry little red beans, darker rice, and an electric weight cooker.
