Recipe Instructions:

Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it’s no longer pink. Once cooked, drain any excess fat from the skillet.
-
Prepare the Ramen Noodles: While the beef is cooking, prepare the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves bringing a saucepan of water to a boil and cooking the noodles for a few minutes until tender. For this recipe, it’s recommended to use 2 packets of beef flavor ramen noodles.
-
Add Water and Noodles: Once the beef is cooked and drained, add 1 cup of water to the skillet along with the cooked ramen noodles (without the seasoning packets). Stir well to combine.
-
Cook the Noodles: Bring the mixture to a boil and let it cook for about 3 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and the flavors have melded together.
-
Add Vegetables: Now it’s time to add the mixed vegetables to the skillet. You can use any combination of vegetables you like, such as bell peppers, carrots, and peas. Stir well to incorporate the vegetables into the beef and noodle mixture.
-
Cook Until Tender: Continue to cook the skillet supper for another 3 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and heated through. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once everything is cooked to perfection, your Hamburger Skillet Supper is ready to be served! Divide the mixture into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings, such as chopped green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Recipe Variation:
If you’re looking to amp up the flavor even more, try this variation: After cooking the ground beef and adding the vegetables, incorporate the seasoning packets from the ramen noodles for an extra boost of flavor. This will add depth and richness to the dish, making it even more irresistible!
Tips for Success:
- For added convenience, you can use pre-packaged mixed vegetables or frozen vegetables to save on prep time.
- Feel free to customize this recipe with your favorite veggies or protein options. Mushrooms, broccoli, or even tofu would be delicious additions!
- Don’t overcook the noodles; they should be tender but still slightly firm to the bite.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat in the microwave or on the stove for a quick and easy meal.
