Notes

Please ensure you drain the canned corn, peas, beans, and regular tomatoes well to prevent the stew from becoming too watery, though you should keep the liquid in the Rotel for extra flavor. Cut your potatoes into uniform 1/2-inch cubes to ensure they cook through completely during the short 3-minute pressure cooking cycle without turning into mush. Always perform a quick release of the pressure immediately after the timer beeps to stop the cooking process and keep the vegetables bright and distinct.
