Slow Cooker Beef Ramen

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 4 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef (I recommend sirloin (93/7)

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 ¼ ounces chicken stock (or beef stock)

2 packs ramen noodles

sesame seeds (optional)

scallions (optional)

Directions

To a large skillet over medium heat, brown the beef until no longer pink. Drain any grease, if necessary.

Pour the cooked beef into the basin of a 6 quart slow cooker.

To the slow cooker add the carrots, red bell pepper and scallions.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar and chicken stock.

Pour the sauce into the slow cooker and stir to combine.

Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours.

Approximately 30 minutes before serving, add the dry ramen noodles. [discard the seasoning packets, you only need the noodles.]

Stir those around frequently to make sure they get all covered and cook evenly.

When the noodles are tender, serve, topping with additional scallions and some sesame seeds.
