This Slow Cooker Beef Ramen is a cozy, budget-friendly, and flavor-packed meal made with ground beef, fresh vegetables, and ramen noodles simmered in a sweet and savory broth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (preferably 93/7 sirloin)
  • 1 cup matchstick carrots
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2-3 large scallions, roughly chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 14.25 ounces chicken stock (or beef stock)
  • 2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning)
  • Sesame seeds (optional)
  • Extra scallions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Transfer the cooked beef to the basin of a 6-quart slow cooker.
  3. Add the carrots, red bell pepper, and scallions (reserve some scallions for garnish).
  4. In a bowl, whisk together garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, and chicken stock.
  5. Pour the sauce mixture into the slow cooker and stir to combine.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours.
  7. 30 minutes before serving, add the dry ramen noodles. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  8. Once noodles are tender, serve hot topped with additional scallions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey or chicken.
  • Add sriracha or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Enhance broth flavor with fish sauce or oyster sauce.
  • Finish with lime juice or fresh ginger for brightness.
  • Cook noodles separately if you prefer a firmer texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container once cooled.
  • Best consumed within 3 days when refrigerated.
