    Ground Beef Ramen

    Ground beef Ramen is an easy dinner that the whole family will love. Filled with beef, vegetables and cooked Ramen noodles. 

    This is a wonderful meal that can be made in less than 30 minutes. Some of our other favorite quick meals are Baked Ravioli Lasagna, Fiesta Chicken Casserole and Pizza Casserole.

    Beef, ramen, vegetables

    I admit, we do have packages of Ramen noodles in our pantry. It’s one of those things that brings me back to college days when we didn’t have much time to cook or much money to spend on food. 

    Now, my kids enjoy having it from time to time and I like using the noodles for other recipes like this salad. 

    Why this works

    • Something a little different to make with ground beef.
    • Can be made in under 30 minutes and makes great leftovers.

    What you need

    Ground Beef – I use lean but you could use ground chicken or turkey.

    Vegetables – Broccoli and bell peppers are used in this recipe but feel free to add more like mushrooms, carrots, asparagus or edamame. 

    Ramen Noodles – Flavor doesn’t matter because you won’t be using the seasoning pack.

    Soy Sauce – The base for the sauce recipe. Feel free to use low-sodium or even beef broth. 

    Brown Sugar, Garlic and Vinegar – Ingredients needed for the sauce. Use your favorite vinegar or whatever you have on hand like rice, apple cider or white vinegar. 

    How to make

    Scroll down for full printable recipe, ingredients and video.

    1. Cook beef: Cook and brown meat in a large skillet over medium heat. Once cooked, drain excess grease, leaving a little in the pan to cook vegetables. Set aside.
    2. Cook noodles: Boil noodles according to package directions. 
    3. Sauce: In a small bowl mix together soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic and sesame oil. 
    4. Vegetables: In the same skillet, saute vegetables until they are crisp tender, about 3-4 minutes. 
    5. Finish: Add meat and noodles in the skillet with vegetables. Pour over sauce and stir to coat. Garnish with green onions.

    Tips

    • If you like your food a little saucier, double the sauce recipe. (Find measurement conversions HERE to help with doubling.)
    • Want to add some heat? Top with 1-2 teaspoons of Sriracha sauce. 
    • Try adding a little bit of olive oil to the noodles to help prevent sticking together. 

    Variations

    There are lots of ways to customize this dish. Here are a few ideas:

    • Use chicken, pork, shrimp or turkey for your protein.
    • Add extra veggies or tofu to make it vegetarian. 
    • Try adding diced pineapple for a little extra sweetness.

    How to store

    Store this meal in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat of in the microwave.

    More quick and easy ground beef recipes

    • Sour Cream Beef and Noodle Bake is one of our favorite family meals. 
    • Ground Beef Pasta Casserole is a great comfort food and makes delicious leftovers. 
    • Cheesy Ground Beef and Rice Casserole is always a huge hit for dinner.

      This sounds like a delicious recipe. Since we are vegetarian, I would just sub in meatless crumbles. We love ramen noodles and this seems like a versatile dish.

      We love ramen and we actually ordered ramen a few nights ago from an Asian restaurant here and it was so good. Your ramen looks yummy and so easy to prepare too. Can’t wait to try it.

      This is great. It will add variety to the quarantine & lockdown-living. Protein and veggies work for me so I’m definitely giving this a shot.

      I was so excited to see this dish again, it was popular with my young family (back-in-the-day.) It is so delicious and easy to make. I’m adding it to my recipes for next month. I can’t wait to try it your way!

      I have never made my own ramen, but we love going to ramen noodle bars. Those can be hit or miss though (the local one here is horrible!) I need to learn to make my own, and this is the perfect recipe to start with. Thanks!
