Easy Pot Roast In My Ninja® Cooking System with Auto-iQ™

I have a lot of gadgets in my kitchen. They all have different benefits and features to making meal prep a lot easier. Cooking at home and not eating out is a priority for our family – so when there is something that can help us make delicious, healthy and easy meals – I must have it!

I recently got a Ninja® Cooking System with Auto-iQ™. Right after I got it we had a party to go to after church. I had to bring something but I had about 15 minutes to throw something together. I had chorizo, processed cheese, diced tomatoes, and tortilla chips. It was the perfect time to try out my Ninja® Cooking System with Auto-iQ™.

I opened up the chorizo and let it sauté. While it was cooking I diced up the process cheese. Once the chorizo was cooked i threw in the cheese and tomatoes. I kept it in stove top mode until all the cheese was melted. This whole process from start to a delicious and easy dip was less than 10 minutes. I then unplugged the Ninja® Cooking System with Auto-iQ™ and brought it to my friends house and used it on slow cooker mode to keep the dip melted. It was a hit! No one could believe I throw this dip together in under 10 minutes.

Everyone loves pot roast and we all know that you should always sear it in hot oil before you cook it to lock in that juice and get a better meal. But no one likes to dirty another pot for dinner when you are transferring it from a searing pot to a slow cooker.

With the Ninja® Cooking System with Auto-iQ™ you dont have to! You put it on stove top mode, add some oil, sear your meat, add your ingredients and let it slow cook and make dinner for you.

The Ninja® Cooking System with Auto-iQ™ is my dream machine in the kitchen and I haven’t used all it’s functions. Next up will be their layered bowels because my family will gobble those up fast! I will be making a double batch so we have leftovers.

The Ninja® Cooking System with AutoiQ is four appliances built into one: a slow cooker; a stove top for searing and sautéing; a steamer; and an oven for baking. AutoiQ allows consumers to choose from more than 80 pre-programmed recipes – just add ingredients, select a recipe from the included cookbook, and let AutoiQ handle the rest.

I have tried so many recipes for Pot Roast. They are all good but require a few extra ingredients. I always come back to this one. It’s so simple and these are ingredients I always have in my home. You can’t go wrong when you serve up a nice plateful of pot roast, carrots, mashed potatoes, and a roll.
