  3. If the recipe is from an outside source i.e. a food blog or YouTube, please link the recipe so we can support the original creator and study the recipe ourselves

  4. No anti-vegan bullying.

  5. Be welcoming to "flexitarians", there are people who are learning the vegan way and need help. We all have to start somewhere.

  6. No advertising or spamming allowed.

  7. No plate-shaming. Not all of us are chefs. Presentation isn't everything. Some recipes taste better than they look!

I've always liked pinto beans, usually "refried", which is when you cook the beans and then mush them to a paste. Some crazy folks will blend the beans to a paste. I'm OK with that, but my latest thing is high pressure instapot beans with mushrooms.

Yeah you heard it here first folks! For the lazy people like me...6 volumes of beans to 1 volume of dried mushrooms in the pot with condiments and salt to your taste. Set it for 1 hr and come back to a meal full of various textures and the good bean flavor we've come to love.

One thing I have been obsessed with is tomato bean soup. The recipe I base mine off is sopa tarasca, a Mexican dish that also uses a few ancho chiles. But you could use chile powder or omit that.

Anyways, I really like your idea of adding mushrooms and doing it in the pressure cooker. I might toss in a can of tomatoes and some onion and garlic. You could throw in other veggies too, like anything about to go bad. And add rice to really make it a meal. Beans and rice is so good when done right.
