I love this instant pot great northern beans and pork recipe. It’s hearty and comforting and super easy to make in the instant pot.

I use a pork loin roast in this recipe, however, you can also use a pork butt or shoulder or ham and the results will still be delicious, with a slight variation.

There is something wholesome and delicious about a pot of beans with a developed and savory broth. It’s such a humble and unassuming bowl of flavor and nourishment. That appear just feels right, especially on a chilly fall or winter night.

This recipe tastes great with a little cheese sprinkled on top or some sliced avocado, it dresses it up just a little bit. So if you wanted this recipe to be a little fancier, those are great options.
