Instructions
Turn the Ninja Foodi on high sear/sauté. Add the ground beef,onions, salt, pepper and rice. When the ground beef starts to cook, break it up and stir occasionally.
After the ground beef is partially cooked, add in the minced garlic and cook 2-3 minutes.
Deglaze the pot with beef stock and make sure to scrape the bottom to remove anything that may be stuck to the bottom.
Put the pressure lid on and turn the valve to seal. Set the pressure on high for 2 minutes. When the time is up, natural release the pressure for 5 minutes and then manually release the remaining pressure.
Add 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoon of butter, cream, and frozen vegetables. Stir to combine. Put the pressure lid back on with the valve to vent and let sit for 5 minutes while you get the topping mixed up. Check the vegetables to make sure they are cooked the way you like them. Add more time if needed.
Combine 3 tablespoon of melted butter the panko and mix. Add the remaining ¾ cup of shredded cheese and mix.
Spread the topping on top of the casserole in an even layer. Put the crisping lid down and select the air crisp function on 365°F/185°C for about 8-10 minutes. I check after 5 minutes and then every 2 minutes until the top is brown like you like it and the cheese is melted.
