Instant Pot Creamy Rosemary White Beans are super Instant Pot Creamy Rosemary White Beans are super cozy food on a cold winter’s day. The rosemary infuses the beans with a gorgeous herbal note. I like to serve them as a side dish with protein, but they’re pretty nice rolled up in a tortilla or with a piece of rustic bread.
