Open the lid and add in corn and zucchini and stir. Close the lid and allow the pot to rest for 10 minutes. You are letting the corn and zucchini cook in the residual heat.

Add. Add 2.5 cups of water and beans.

Mix in. With about an hour left in your cooking time, add zucchini and corn so they are not overcooked.
