Throw Together meatball soup

Tonight I made another super easy, fast and tasty soup!

Turn Ninja on stovetop high and add 2 boxes of beef stock, a bag of frozen veggies, frozen meatballs and cubed potatoes.

After about 30 minutes I threw in some noodles and cooked another 15 minutes.

Added a bit of salt and pepper at the end

Ground Beef burrito bowls

I love to throw things together!  Normally I make this recipe with chicken but I didn't have any so I created something new in my reportoire!

1 pound lean ground beef

Garlic salt

Garlic pepper

Chili powder

1 can of black beans drained

1 can of corn drained

1 bottle of Herdez Chipotle salsa (you can use any kind of salsa) - This is my new favorite salsa!!!

White rice

Shredded cheese

Set Ninja on stovetop high and brown beef along with spices

Add corn, beans and salsa and stir

Turn Ninja to stovetop low and cook for about 30 minutes.

I cooked the rice in a pot on my stove since I haven't tried steaming rice on its own yet in the Ninja!

Put some rice in a bowl, add the meat mixture and top with shredded cheese!

Enjoy!!!

Paprika chicken and rice bake

2 large chicken breasts cut in half

1 box chicken broth

1 bag frozen broccoli and cauliflower

Cook for about 45 minutes or until rice is done.

Cheeseburger Flatbread Melts

This is a two Ninja recipe.  If you only have one you can either cook the flatbread on the stove in a pan or remove the meat mixture from the Ninja, wipe clean and do the flatbreads in the Ninja

Ingredients:

1 pound lean ground beef

1 packet onion soup mix

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup catsup

2 tablespoons yellow mustard

2 cloves of garlic chopped

1 can refrigerated thin crust pizza dough

Shredded cheese

In the Ninja on stovetop high, brown the ground beef (drain if not using lean beef)

Add onion soup mix, catsup, mustard, garlic, and water, stir well then set Ninja to low to cook through and simmer

In the other Ninja, set it to stove top high

While its heating up, take dough out of the container and cut into 6 pieces

Once the Ninja is nice and hot add two pieces of the dough in and cook until brown on both sides

Add meat mixture to each flatbread as well as cheese

When you eat it just fold it up and eat kind of like a taco!  No utensils needed!!

Country Style Pork Ribs with potatoes and green beans

I wanted to do a pork roast but my store didn't have any so I bought some boneless pork ribs! 

1.3 lbs of country style boneless pork ribs

1 envelope herb and garlic soup mix

6 medium size white potatoes cubed

2 cans green beans (they didn't have fresh at the store)

1 cup water

Put the ribs in the Ninja and covered them with half of the soup mix

Add the potatoes and use the rest of the soup mix

Cook on Slowcook low for about 5 1/2 to 6 hours.

Add the green beans during the last half hour of cooking

I ended up cooking it for 5 1/2 hours, adding the beans at 5 hours and it was perfect!!

Throw Together Hamburger Soup

As usual, I love to just get creative and use up what I have in the kitchen.  So tonight I decided to make this...

1 lb lean hamburger

Red potatoes (I cut up about 6 medium sized ones)

2 boxes beef broth

1 can diced tomatoes

1 bag frozen broccoli and cauliflower

Spices to taste (I used creole seasoning, pepper and oregano)

Set the Ninja to stovetop high and brown beef with some spices

Add potatoes, stock and diced tomatoes, bring to a boil then turn Ninja to stovetop low

I checked the potatoes and they were almost done about 40 minutes in so I then added the veggies and let it cook until we were ready to eat.

This is the kind of soup you just kind of watch, I don't think you can really over cook it, especially when on low!
