  • Total Time: 4 hours 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup matchstick carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2-3 scallions, roughly chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Sauce and Broth

  • 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 14.5 ounce can chicken stock

Noodles and Garnish

  • 2 ramen noodle packets (discard seasoning packets)
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
  • Extra scallions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, then drain any excess fat to keep the dish from becoming greasy.
  2. Add beef to slow cooker: Transfer the browned and drained ground beef to the slow cooker.
  3. Add vegetables: Add the matchstick carrots, sliced red bell pepper, and roughly chopped scallions to the slow cooker with the beef.
  4. Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, low sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, and canned chicken stock, mixing well to create the flavorful broth.
  5. Pour sauce into slow cooker: Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables, then stir gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.
  6. Slow cook: Cover and cook on low heat for 4 to 6 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the beef to become tender.
  7. Add noodles: About 30 minutes before serving, add the dry ramen noodles directly into the slow cooker, discarding the seasoning packets. Stir frequently to coat noodles in the sauce and ensure even cooking.
  8. Cook noodles: Stir the noodles regularly for the 30 minutes until tender and fully cooked to your desired texture.
  9. Serve: Once the noodles are tender, serve the beef ramen hot, making sure to scoop a generous amount of broth, beef, vegetables, and noodles.
  10. Garnish: Top each serving with additional chopped scallions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added flavor and texture, if desired.

Notes

  • Discard the seasoning packets from the ramen noodles as the slow cooker sauce provides plenty of flavor.
  • Stir the noodles frequently after adding to prevent them from sticking or clumping together.
  • You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Adjust the brown sugar quantity based on your desired sweetness level.
  • Serve immediately after noodles are cooked to avoid over-softening.
