Remember when I did a review/giveaway of the Ninja Cooking System back in October? Well, I’ve been LOVING this kitchen appliance ever since I got it!
I shopped at Bed, Bath and Beyond over the holidays and picked up the Ninja Cooking System Cooking Easier, Healthier & Better cookbook.
So far, I have made the Hearty Beef Stew from this cookbook. Dave and I loved it! The gravy came out rich and thick, the way we like it! The folks at Ninja gave me permission to share the recipe below! In case you’re not familiar with the Ninja Cooking System, you can actually brown the beef on the STOVETOP setting and then add the rest of the ingredients and turn it on SLOW COOK. It’s so nice to do everything in one pot! No extra pans to clean!
This is my kind of meal on a cold, winter day!
Give it a try!

I’m so jealous! But happy for you Jane!
Thanks Lily! :)
Jane,
That looks delicious. I stumbled and I am definitely going to try it. I was just at BJ’s last Sunday – I would have picked up that cookbook if I saw it but I didn’t. Maybe Amazon? Anyway, thanks for the recipe! :)
I’ve been wondering how much people liked these and how they differed from a crock pot, your post answers all these questions for me. Congrats on your new purchase!
I totally want one of these!
Ohmygoodness that looks wonderful! Looks like an awesome way to cook.
This stew looks so good! =)
Thanks so much for sharing!
Oh that looks so cool!!!
This is similar to the beef stew that I make – only mine’s made in a regular old crock pot LOL.
I hear SO many good things about the Ninja system, it’s got me pretty curious. The beef stew looks delicious.
