Notes

  • Cooking sweet potatoes: Sweet potatoes come in a variety of sizes and their size will dictate how long you will need to cook them. The recipe card shows the cooking time for an up to 2-inch wide sweet potato. If your sweet potatoes are bigger, use these times:
    • 2-3 inches wide: 30 minutes cook time, 10 minutes natural pressure release
    • 3-4 inches wide: 60 minutes cook time, 10 minutes natural pressure release
  • To make this recipe vegan: Just remove the cheese!
  • To add meat: Add in shredded cooked chicken to the bean and corn mixture, or use pulled pork for a bit more flavor.
