Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 packs instant ramen noodles
- 0.5 pounds ground beef
- 0.5 cups red kidney beans
- 1 cups diced tomatoes
- 2 cups water
- 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
Instructions
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan.
Cook the instant ramen noodles according to the package instructions, then drain the noodles and set aside. Discard the seasoning packets, as they won't be used in this recipe.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula or spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the kidney beans, diced tomatoes (with their juices), chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir well and let it simmer for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Stir the cooked ramen noodles into the chili mixture and toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and add the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir gently until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated, about 2 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot and garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh finish.
