Equipment

  • slow cooker
  • skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup matchstick carrots
  • 1 piece red bell pepper cored and sliced
  • 2-3 pieces green onions roughly chopped (reserve some for garnish)
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 ¾ cups beef stock
  • 2 packets dry ramen noodles discard flavor packets or reserve for later use
  • sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Add the ground beef to a hot skillet and brown it over medium high heat. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to break up the beef as it cooks. Once the beef has browned, add the garlic and cook for another two minutes.
  • Transfer browned ground beef and garlic to a slow cooker. Add the carrots, sliced bell pepper, and chopped green onions (reserve some to use as garnish).
  • Mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, and beef stock in a small bowl then pour it over the beef mixture. Stir to combine.
  • Slow cook on low setting for 4-6 hours.
  • 30 minutes before the end of cooking time, add two packages of dry ramen noodles. Bury them in the sauce so that they are covered.
  • Cook on low for another 30 minutes, or until the noodles have softened. Stir them around, then portion them out into bowls.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and reserved green onions.

Notes

Substitute ground chicken or turkey for the ground beef. For spicy noodles, add 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 2 Tablespoons garlic chili sauce, or 2 Tablespoons Sriracha sauce. Feel free to skip the noodles and serve over rice or in lettuce cups.
