AuthorNinja R.The most tasty comfort food in one pot. Choose whether you use lamb or beef mince, whatever you prefer
Put around 500ml water in pot. Put potatoes in crisper basket or vegetable basked. Pressure cook on high for 6 minutes. Quick release the steam.
Transfer to a pan to actually mash as normal with some butter and seasoning and leave this on the side.
Empty the water out of the pot and give it a wipe.
Put some oil (just a bit) and the place the onions, carrots and minced beef/lamb in pot. Put on Sear/Saute on High - cook for about 8 mins stirring halfway, this will just soften the onions/carrots and brown the mince
Add in the garlic and mushrooms, stir through and cook for around 2 mins. Turn off the Sear/Saute
Add the flour, mixed herbs, brown sauce and tomato sauce. Add some salt and pepper to your taste. Stir through until you can no longer see the powder and pour the peas on top
Gently pour over the stock - DO NOT STIR
Pressure cook on high for 5 mins. Quick release the steam.
Now stir through and your base is ready
Spoon the mash that you made earlier over the meat base evenly but don't make it too smooth - leave it a bit rough
Grill on 190C for around 10 mins to crisp off the top, keep lifting the lid to check on it but it is personal choice how crispy you want the top

Only had my Ninja for a week , tried this out yesterday . Wow very impressed , very tasty Shepherds pie and so easy to do .
Can you use your own dish, as there’s only two of us, and the amounts would be too much, also it would be more like a pancake!
Only got my Ninja foodi at the weekend, have cooked chips (frozen) turned out brilliantly, also done the pressure cooker test. Loving this forum, bought a book, but it’s all American! Well it is an American company!
Try this cookbook. Lots of people recommend it https://amzn.to/2ZIioGG
Madde this tonight after the pressure cooking. It was too wet. I had to saute to thicken. Where did i go wrong?
I had the same problem – I sauted on high to reduce and still had to spoon some liquid out as still not reduced enough. I thought 500ml sounded too much.
Did you use the 2 tablespoons of flour, this is meant to thicken it up during cooking. The images shown are how it turned out for me
I did. it tasted amazing though. I added cheese on top of the mash before grilling. Made it twice and same issue. Will add bit more flour next time.
