🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2):
For the Beef Ramen:
- 2 packs of instant ramen (discard the seasoning packet)
- 1/2 lb ground beef (or leftover cooked beef, shredded)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)
For the Grilled Cheese:
- 4 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, white, or whole wheat)
- 2 tbsp butter (for grilling)
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- Optional: sliced pickles or jalapeños for extra kick
🔥 How to Make:
1. Prepare the Beef Ramen:
- Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions, but discard the seasoning packet.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart into small crumbles.
- Add the cooked ramen noodles to the beef, along with soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, ginger, and black pepper.
- Stir to combine, letting the noodles soak up the flavors for a couple of minutes.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Make the Grilled Cheese:
- Butter one side of each slice of bread.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, in the skillet.
- Layer on 1/2 cup of cheese, then add a generous spoonful of the beef ramen mixture.
- Top with another 1/2 cup of cheese and another slice of bread, butter-side up.
- Grill the sandwich until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure it gets crispy and the cheese melts.
3. Serve:
- Slice the Beef Ramen Grilled Cheese in half and serve immediately. You can garnish with extra green onions, a drizzle of hot sauce, or a few pickled jalapeños for some added heat.
