Sweet Potato, Lima Bean and Corn Stew in the Instant Pot

This recipe for Sweet Potato, Lime Bean, and Corn stew has a few things going for it.

• You make it in one pot (Instant Pot or stove top - your choice.)
• Limited chopping is required.
• It's made up of pantry ingredients, frozen items and hearty produce.
• Leftovers are even better.

Oh, and it tastes great, too!

I'm not going to to lie. If I could figure out how to make all meals in one pot I would totally do it. I'm not a fan of doing dishes.

Instant Pot or Stove Top, Your Choice

We've been making this stew for years. In fact, I would originally make it on the stove top. But it requires less babysitting in the Instant Pot so I've converted the recipe.

If you don't have an electric pressure cooker, just scroll down below the recipe and you'll find the stove top instructions.

One of the reasons we make this recipe over and over is that it's a good meal to have on deck for when you've used up your more delicate fresh produce.

For example, when I'm making a grocery list and meal planning, I make sure to only have a few meals made of delicate produce like lettuce or fresh mushrooms and then have a few made of heartier vegetables like winter squash, potatoes, beets, etc. When you can think this way it really cuts down on food waste.

If you are a meal-prepper, this stew is perfect! It gets better with time so pack it up for quick lunches or dinners all week. I used to take this to work for lunch all the time back in the day.

What's your preference, Instant Pot (or other electric pressure cooker) or stove top?
