I love how you’re just rolling with the punches and more so that in the most encouraging way you show support to the viewers. It took me a lot of years to get to that point when cooking (especially with new meals). So important for new cooks to know it’s okay to improvise on the fly.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Thank you! It is so important because even when you know what you are doing things don't always go as planned!

[@brianrudo5092]

I just made this dish. It was wonderful! I got my Ninja a few months ago and I watch all of your videos and have learned so much from you. So you are a Maryland girl. So am I. I grew up in Howard County. When my hubby and I retired seven years ago we moved to North Carolina near the Outer Banks. This dish was so good I am going to use the filling to make wraps and freeze them. Thank you again for all the wonderful recipes. Keep me comimg.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I grew up in Anne Arundel county. I am very familiar with Howard County, I used to go there all the time when I had my nursing business.

Hi, Louise, we've made your Mexican Bake twice within the past four days, freezing the leftovers for later. I didn't have breadcrumbs, so I tore some flour tortillas into ragged strips and tossed them with cheese for the topping. Ten minutes under air-fry and it was delicious! Thank you for your wonderful Ninja guidance!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

That's wonderful and I love the flour tortilla topping idea!

I love my Ninja 5.5 qt. my kids bought me a year ago July. I have not used my oven or stove since then. I came across another ninja 6.5 qt. On the marketplace for $50.00 so I grabbed that up. Now I can use both at the same time. Love all your videos. Keep up the great work. ❤

Found this recipe and gave it a try on stove top. Omitted the peppers Added 1/4 tsp chilli powder and blk pepper. Drained can tomatoes and topped with beef stock. Browned chopped onions and 1 clove of garlic.. 2 cups liquid to 1 cup jasmine. 20 minutes low after rapid boil. I added fresh corn from garden off cob. We added a cup of grated cheese and mixed. It was great with some more cheese and some taco sauce on top. Next time finding chillies and using liquid towards the 2 cup for rice. Simple meal everyone inhaled quickly. Thanks

Just brought myself a ninja foodi for my own xmas present, lol! And I didn't realise that it had a dehydrater function, I took all of the leftover bread and buns that I threw in the freezer or had gotten a bit stale that I normally would end up throwing away, and put it in the foodi to dehydrate it and then used the food processor to make bread crumbs, it did take the most part of a Sunday to dry all of the bread in small batches at a time but the ideal of not wasting old bread was wonderful! I did put the bread crumps in a airtight container and back in the freezer but because the moisture was gone it didn't freeze into a soild mass. I also dried some rye bread with caraway seads that I think I will use for swedish meatballs or maybe use the bread crumbs in stuffed cabbage haven't decided yet!

nice video looks great. i'd put some in a bowl, and then sprinkle some fritos on the top. yummy

[@TheSaltedPepper]

ROGER VANDIVER you and my husband! Fritos are his favorite topping! 😁

[@bobbiewilliams3109]

I made this tonight and so surprised how one can cook up a meal so quickly as this dish! I used one cup of Jasmine white rice with one cup of beef broth. My rice cooked up too much as the extra liquid took over six minutes to bring up to pressure and then pressure cooked for another four minutes. Also natural release for four minutes then manually released. Then I added crushed dipping Frito’s and Mexican shredded cheese and AC for 2 minutes. Maybe too much time to cause it to be drier? Next time I will use only 1/2-3/4 cup of rice and stick with the full cup of beef broth. I drained the can of black beans but did not drain the Mexican Corn as the can of corn did not have much liquid in it. After all was done cooking there was not any liquid left, it burnt a little on the bottom and the meal was drier but good! We added Salsa and whole jalapeños when we put a nice size amount on our plates to eat. The salsa really added the wetness and goodness to the dish! I bet this recipe would make a great topping over a bowl of fresh green salad 🥗 and eat it like “taco salad”.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Bobbie Williams I’m glad you liked it! It surprises me that it overcooked and became dry with a full cup of stock. I need to make this again!

[@bobbiewilliams3109]

The Salted Pepper I think I went by your instructions in the written recipe and added only 1/2 cup of beef broth, drained the tomatoes and black beans so that may explain why my Mexican Bake was drier and burnt a little on the bottom. Looking at your video your measuring cup looked like it had 1 & 1/2 cup of beef broth. Also I did the Natural Release for 4 minutes from your written instructions, whereas you did the quick release. Now I’m confused 🤷‍♀️ about the amount of time to pressure cook whether using white rice or brown rice. Did you edit the written instructions and amounts of ingredients after you cooked this recipe for the first time. All in all my recipe tasted good but on the drier side. I really liked the looks of your Mexican Bake after you drained the extra liquid.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Bobbie Williams I just checked my recipe and i don’t think I drained the tomatoes. That could be the difference.

[@DyesubDave]

I've been watching a bunch of your vids as I have an Instant Pot and can use some of the recipes. I'm also looking at getting a Ninja Foodi Blender and have been enjoying those vids as well. Quick tip for the ground beef if you want to get rid of any grease. You can put the raw meat in a stainless steel container with holes and pressure cook it above water (obviously needed to pressure cook) for the desired time. I think I did it for around 5-8 minutes ... can't remember right now. Then when it's done you have cooked ground beef already drained. Toss the water with the grease it in and carry on.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Great tip, thank you! Have you thought about getting the crisper lid for the Instant Pot? I don't have one, but I've heard that others really like them. You'll love the blender!

[@DyesubDave]

@@TheSaltedPepper I did look at the Mealthy Crisplid a while back. I'm in Canada and can only seem to find it on Amazon and it costs more than my Instant Pot did. I can actually get it shipped from Amazon U.S. cheaper than buying it from Amazon Canada. RIDICULOUS! LOL The blender is sold out almost everywhere here. I'm just going to keep an eye out for a sale. I make hot sauces and salsa so along with the soup options of the blender I'll likely be getting one in the near future. Thanks for the reply and I look forward to watching future recipes you post.

I saw a review of the Foodi a year ago last October, it wasn't available here at the time, I knew it would be here soon and had to wait (not very patiently!!!) I've loved it, I live alone and recently decided I want to make my own yogurt, my Foodi doesn't have a yogurt setting, so I decided to buy an Instant Pot Duo Mini, almost when it arrived, lockdown happened, so I had difficulty getting filtered milk (I prefer to do the cold start yogurt) so I'm using it to do things like side dishes. I'm hooked on both of them 😊

[@raymondschneider5217]

Just catched you channel; love it! After I saw how much liquid you drained, I thought, OK, just drain the excess liquid initially. Then, I got to thinking, the recipe would be great in a baking dish w/ a cornbread topping (e.g., Jiffy corn muffin). Ummm, gonna try that combo; bet it'll be good (espec if you add a bit of jalapeno pepper to the cornbread). Y'all Be Safe!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Jean Rippeon I totally get that! 😂 I’ve jumped back a few times and then feel silly. It’s the sound for sure!

[@scsutke92]

the keep warm button should turn on once the pressure cooking has finished. At least in my 6.5 Qt foodi it turns on after pressure cooking.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Joseph DeLuca it does automatically turn on, but there are some foods that you would want to natural release without the keep warm on. You can turn it off after the pot comes up to pressure by pressing it and the light will come on, press it again to turn it off. Then it will not automatically come on after the pressure cooking cycle is done. I try to remember to do this with all meats I pressure cook.

Before you added the cheese maybe you could have left the lid off and hit saute for a bit. This would let the fluids boil down a little. Then it would not have been as soupy.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I could have, but it was quite a bit of liquid. I should have just strained it before putting in the cheese, but live and learn, right? I have revised the recipe and it's in the description... got rid of all of that extra liquid and it's really good!

Robert Jorgensen The brown rice was a good texture, I would be concerned about it getting too mushy if I let it natural release. You have a good point though, perhaps decrease the pressure time and add some natural release time with the keep warm setting off. Please keep me posted on how it turned out for you!

[@obrani22]

This looks and sounds absolutely delicious! I'm not overly keen on bown rice, but I imagine that as his is cooked all together, I'd not notice. If I was to try this, but with basmati rice, what cooking time, under pressure, would you suggest? Loving your videos, and have just joined your 'Fresh & Healthy' group on FB - I already joined '101'. I'm finding all your posts and videos really helpful - and delicious looking. Can't wait to try this recipie, and others. I'd never used a pressure cooker before I started using the foodi in November, and have mostly used it for aircrisping/broiling, but the few times I have pressure cooked, the meals have turned out great. I just need more knowledge and confidence in this style of cooking, which is exactly what your groups and videos are doing - so, THANK YOU!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

obrani22 I don’t prefer brown rice, but I couldn’t tell it was brown rice. White rice cooks much faster, so I would do 2 minutes high pressure with 5 minute natural release.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

obrani22 thank you so much for the kind words! They really mean a lot to me! 😊

[@catd6235]

I have the ninja foodi and love it.....what is the main thing that can cause the pressure to blow lid? And what will happen if Iforgot to turn the vent thing to seal?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

The pressure isn't going to blow the lid due to safety measures. The black valve is weighted and if too much pressure is built, it will lift up and release the excess pressure. Just make sure nothing is blocking the valve and it should be removed for cleaning. If you forget to seal the the valve, you won't go under pressure, you will steam. Eventually, you will run out of thin liquid and get the water notice.

[@elizabethshaw734]

Did you know that instant pot has now got a Duo crisp and fry? It does everything the ninja foodi does and it is $100 less. Right now Kohl's has it for 150 or you can also buy a m e a l t y crisping lid and you can airfryer and brown cheese broiling stuff with that lid as well which is $59. Just an FYI. :-)

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I'm aware.

[@agnesparkinson4372]

Hi there Louise my ninja Foodi is 200c top heating so could you please give temps in both and weights for your s. Love your cooking

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I'm not familiar with the conversions enough to do that on camera, but I have started to include that in my written recipes which you can find most of them on my website: thesaltedpepper.com

[@truthhurtz2793]

I loved your recipe - And your demeanor and happy attitude !!! SUBBED !!! Edit : If using canned corn, should it be drained ? Thank you !

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Thank you so much! Yes, drain the corn.

[@elizabethshaw734]

It seems to take much less time for the ninja foodi to come to pressure than the instant pot. I was going to buy a Ninja foodi next week and then I saw this instant pot Duo crisp with an air fryer and all that stuff. Now I don't know what to do! I have very disabled hands so the least amount of appliances and pots and pans I can use the better for me. When I don't have Home Care coverage I could at least dump a bunch of stuff into the ninja sauteed the meat and onions and what have you and cook a meal or a good meal.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I love the Ninja Foodi. I will be doing a comparison on the Ninja Foodi and the IP Duo Crisp soon.

[@rolandgadue4351]

I like your recipe. I had the Ninja Foodi when it first came out. I would of used already cooked rice so you would not had to use so much liquid. I am thinking of trying this.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Thank you so much. I was very surprised that the brown rice didn't absorb more of that water. I realize that there isn't the evaporation like on the stove, but that was a lot of liquid. I'm going to make it again and develop a recipe for my blog. If you make it with your twist, let me know how it turns out. We would also love to have you in our Facebook Group: Ninja Foodi 101. You can probably offer suggestions and tips for all of us newbies! 😊

[@rolandgadue4351]

@@TheSaltedPepper yes I have many suggestions and cooks that I have did. Are you just starting the group? How many members so far? Happy New Year to you and your family.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

@@rolandgadue4351 Yes, I just started two different groups few days ago. We have about 35 members in each one.The links are in the description if you are interested. We would love to have you. I have only had my Ninja Foodi for a few weeks and I'm working on more recipes and videos every day. I've been a food blogger for several years and have had a passion for cooking all my life. Happy New Year to you and your family as well.

[@elizabethshaw734]

My grandmother used to tell me when I was a little girl sitting in her kitchen to wait for the three whistles and then call her from wherever she was in the house. :-) :-)

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I'm guessing that was a stovetop pressure cooker?

[@missy11887]

You did exactly the same thing I would’ve done if it didn’t come out right lol time to improvise

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Yep, we have all been there, I'm sure!

[@penname40]

I probably would have used the sauté function for a few minutes to evaporate some of the liquid, before adding the cheese, but it looks good. I can almost smell it.

[@laurasoutherland4957]

In the corrected recipe, you switched to white rice. How much liquid if you stick to brown? I would assume it would be the same.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I didn't even realize I did that! Now, I'm going to have to make it again! LOL I think you'd be fine with the same amount of liquid for the brown rice, but a little longer cooking time.

[@leeannecarr8116]

I would love to make this recipe for my daughter who is vegetarian - can you suggest a substitution for the meat? BTW - love your videos!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Thank you! I would probably just increase the rice by 1/2 cup and add another can of black beans. You might need to increase the broth a little (probably to 3/4-1 cup) to make up for the lack of juices from the meat and the added rice.

[@CarolynDorr]

You are awesome! Thank you!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Carolyn Dorr WOW! Thank you! I’m not sure I deserve such high praise, but I do appreciate it! 🥰

[@mommaclaire]

Great video thank you!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Glad you liked it!

[@memories511]

With some T-chips would be good , or top some sour cream?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Oh yes!

[@ellenfaye7763]

Im still waiting for ninja foodie to arrive here in Sydney. But I'm definitely getting one as soon as it becomes available. I'm currently using Tefal Cook4me and it has an automatic steam release - plus it won't let me open the cover as part of its safety feature. Just curious, the vent/seal on the Foodie, is it not automatic? Loved the recipe btw new sub here x

[@TheSaltedPepper]

The Vent/Seal on the Foodi is not automatic. You can either let it natural release or manually release it. You also have to remember to set it to the seal position when cooking under pressure. The lid cannot be removed while the pot is under pressure. If you use the steam function, you set the valve to vent and then you can open the lid to check on things. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching and subscribing, I really appreciate it!

[@wendyweatherup4882]

cornmeal topping on that maybe?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

You could do that for sure!

[@danniellegalvan6544]

Do you think I could substitute eggs in place of the beef?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I would think they would get overcooked.

[@danniellegalvan6544]

Ok thanks

[@penname40]

You could put the eggs in closer to the end of the process..... like before the cheese.

[@elizabethshaw734]

I think that some things like soup tastes really flat without a tablespoon of oil added to them if there is no natural oil already from the meat or what have you.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

There is fat in the ground beef.

[@catinacherry9085]

You're recipes look yummy...when you say you use white rice is it the Minute rice or the kind that takes longer to cook? Ty 😊

[@TheSaltedPepper]

It's the longer cooking one.

[@shortchakes]

I put Doritos in the pot before i pressure cooked it hopefully they will absorb some of the liquid waiting for it to finish

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Sheri Maes did you follow the corrected recipe in the description or the one from the video? Both are good, but the corrected one isn’t soupy. Hope you enjoy it!

[@shortchakes]

I have my own recipe close to yours Well I should not have added the Doritos to pressure cook it dried it out to much and i didnt care for the texture of them or maybe add more broth not sure or next time I'll just crush them and put them on under the cheese to air crisp until golden Hahahaha I just got my foodie so I need lots of practice so I love it and love your videos and ideas I'm a one pot meal kinda gal when ever possible oh the Doritos are salty keep that in mind also

[@TheSaltedPepper]

@@shortchakes I was afraid the texture might not be that great with the Doritos, but loved the idea and was hoping I was wrong! I think they would be great on top under the cheese like you mentioned. Or maybe even a plain tortilla chips to cut down on the seasoning. Thanks so much for sharing, I love hearing about what everyone is cooking in their Ninja Foodi! It is quite an awesome appliance!

[@mrsmelodymckinney]

So did the bread crumbs give it a grainy texture?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

No, not at all. Crushed tortillas would be great or even fritos.
