Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 packages ramen noodles (uncooked)
- 2 packets beef seasoning packets from ramen
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the ramen noodles for 2 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside. Do not add the seasoning packets to the water.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked beef. Cook for another 3 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables, soy sauce, beef seasoning packets, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 more minutes, mixing everything thoroughly.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sour cream.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ramen noodles and the beef mixture. Mix until the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce and vegetables are well distributed.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with sliced green onions if desired and serve warm.
