How to Cook Fresh Green Beans in an Instant Pot

Aunt Lou here.

Does anyone remember their mom or grandma making fresh green beans back when you were a kid? I sure do! I loved the smell in the kitchen and the taste that you can only get from fresh green beans! So good! Well this Instant Pot Fresh Green Beans recipe is going to take that all day cook time down to mere minutes! And as much as I dreaded breaking beans as a kid, now I love it because it takes me back to Momma and Gramma’s kitchens. This is a recipe that will make your mom and grandma proud! (Note: If you would like the slow cooker version, you can find it here.)

Electric Pressure Cooker Fresh Green Beans Notes:

  • If you want this to be a dump and go recipe, use cocktail onions and bacon bits. However, if you prefer, you can fry up regular bacon and crumble and slice up a yellow onion instead.
  • If you are using fresh beans from the garden you will want to wash and trim your beans beforehand. If you cannot get your hands on some fresh beans from the garden, you can oftentimes find them at the grocery store in the produce aisle.
  • I broke the ends off of my beans and then broke them again. You can leave them longer if you like. I just enjoy breaking the beans like I did when I was a kid. Totally up to you.
  • If you want to step this recipe up a notch, add in a tablespoon of bacon grease. We always save our bacon grease, so I have a coffee mug in my fridge with bacon grease. Is this a southern Indiana thing or do you do this too?
  • Looking for more recipes? Our Recipe Finder can help you find exactly what you need.
  • Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
  • As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
  • Finally, all electric pressure cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own electric pressure cooker and time adjusted as needed.

      Hi Debbie!

      With 2 lbs of green beans, it takes quite a bit of liquid to cover all of them. If you wanted, you can substitute part of the broth with water, but there won’t be as much flavor cooked into your beans if part of the liquid is water. Whichever way you decide to make these, I hope you enjoy them.

    Your Green Beans are “flat”, are they a special kind?

      Hi John!

      I believe they are called Italian or Flat Beans. These were beans I picked up from a local Amish produce stand, so they didn’t have a label on them. They looked like the ones I used to make with Momma and Gramma, so I figured they were good to go. lol If you are looking for a name for planting your own, I would ask the people at the place you buy your seeds which seed would produce this type of bean. Enjoy!

    It’s a southern thing I guess. My grandma and mom both did this so we kids all do too. I try my chicken in bacon grease and in a vast iron skillet. It’s the best I know how.

    Aunt Lou, I keep my bacon grease too and I use it when cooking green beans. I guess I was a strange kid. I liked helping my mom string and snap beans. My grandmother cooked the best though, even my mom agreed with that.

      Maybe my attention span wasn’t long enough. I would find it fun for about 10 minutes, but then I was ready to go play. lol It’s a toss up for me. Momma and Gramma have both made some amazing green beans over the years!
