Preheat oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.
Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions, omitting the seasoning packets. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, and sautΓ© until fragrant and softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Add ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if needed.
Stir in soy sauce, beef broth, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes to combine flavors.
Add mixed frozen vegetables to the skillet, stirring them into the beef mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.
In a bowl, toss the cooked ramen noodles with the beaten eggs until well-coated. This will help bind the noodles together.
Layer half the ramen noodles evenly at the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Spread half the beef and vegetable mixture over the noodles.
Repeat the layers with the remaining ramen noodles and beef mixture.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the casserole layers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving. Slice and enjoy!
