3-15.5 ounce cans of Great Northern beans, 2 tablespoons mustard, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/3 cup ketchup, 1/3 cup molasses, 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 1/2-1 teaspoon liquid smoke
Close and lock the lid. Press manual high pressure and adjust the cooking time to 8 minutes. Be sure that the pressure release valve is set to sealing. It should take about 10-15 minutes for the pot to come to pressure.
When the cooking time has finished, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Then release any remaining pressure by carefully turning the pressure release valve to venting.
Give everything a good stir.
