So I use the whole bag and add another 1-1/4 of water. I also add a bay leaf and replace a cup or so of water with any leftover broth in the fridge. (Just remember to take the bay leave out before using the immersion blender!) My search for a delicious black bean recipe is over. This is the one!

There is still a lot of liquid left over but i may use my immersion blender and make some non-refried beans!! Wow...I will make these again and again!

I doubled the recipe - used 8c of water & 15 oz tomato sauce, 1 large white onion, doubled the cumin, garlic, & salt. Cooked it all in my Instant Pot on high pressure for 50 mins & let the pressure naturally decrease for over an hour. I'm serving these to a large group tomorrow for a cinco de mayo party & I'm just thrilled with the results.

I will try it in my stovetop pressure cooker and update the recipe as needed next time. I've only made it in an electric pressure cooker. You may need more water for the stovetop. I'm not sure if halving the recipe might have something to do with it as well. I'll keep you posted.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'...Dear Anonymous,<br />I'm sorry to hear that. I've literally made this recipe DOZENS of times and never had that problem. Did you follow the recipe exactly? did you put the full three-and-a-half cups of water in? Burning in a pressure cooker is usually a result of not enough liquid. This recipe as it is written has plenty of liquid and should not burn. How old was your pressure cooker? Was it electric or a stove top?
