2 1/2 lbs pork butt, shoulder roast or boneless country style ribs (what I used), cut into chunks

2 (25oz) cans hominy, including liquid

4 cups chicken broth

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tbsp oregano 

1/2 cup chili powder

6 cloves of garlic

1 onion, chopped (I didn't use since my nieces hate onions)

Low Carb Beef, Sausage and Cauliflower Bake

Ingredients:

1 large head cauliflower

1 lb lean ground beef

1 lb ground sausage (I use spicy)

2 cans cream of celery soup

1 cup milk

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

Shredded cheese for the top (any amount you want)

Salt and pepper

Chopped garlic

How to make:

Cut up the cauliflower and steam in the Ninja for 15 minutes

Once the cauliflower is steamed clean out the Ninja and cook the beef, sausage and garlic on high until meat is browned.  Add a little salt no pepper.  Drain.

In a bowl, combine soup, milk and Parmesan cheese

Add the cauliflower to the meat mixture and stir.  Pour soup mixture over it and bake on Oven setting 325 for 15 minutes.  

Turn Ninja off.  Stir everything together and top with shredded cheese and cover for 5 more minutes or until cheese is melted.

Yum!!!

Bacon Brussel Sprout Gratin

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons butter

2 pounds Brussel sprouts, rough ends cut off

1 lb bacon

Pinch or two of red pepper flakes

Salt and pepper

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup (or more if you like) shredded cheese (I used Colby Jack)

1 cup breadcrumbs

In one Ninja I fried up the bacon and in the other I brought water to a boil and cooked the sprouts for about 7 minutes.  You can do the sprouts on the stove while the bacon cooks in your ninja.

Chop up the crispy bacon

Rough chop the sprouts (I cut most into 4ths)

Put the sprouts, half of the bacon, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper in the Ninja and stir

Add the cream, cheese, breadcrumbs then bacon and add the butter all over the top of the breadcrumbs in small chunks

Set Ninja to Slowcook high and cook for about 2 hours then switch to warm

Delicious!!!  Everyone really liked it.

1 can sliced olives

1 can diced green chiles

2 cups shredded cheese

6 low carb flour tortillas

Some hot sauce
