I’m going to be totally honest, I dislike Ramen noodles. I tell people all the time, I would rather starve than eat Ramen. But one night I was struggling financially and creatively for a meal. I knew I had to think of something.

My daughter loves the chicken flavored Ramen, so we always have those on hand. And that’s when I birthed the creation of ground beef Ramen noodles. It was quick, pretty healthy, and inexpensive.

You should save this recipe for those busy weeknights, or the days where money may be tight. You’ll most likely have all of the ingredients on hand.

It’s so simple and quick. You’ll have it in your regular rotation as well.

See, told you it was easy and inexpensive. You could also add red bell peppers or all kinds of stir fry vegetables if you wish. I’ve added stir fry vegetables before, and they work great.

If you like a little heat, add a touch of Sriracha Sauce. I am not a fan of a lot of heat or spicy things, so I don’t add it. But I’m positive it would add more flavor.

This meal is so simple and quick. And since we discard the Ramen sauce packets, it is a much healthier version of Ramen.
